I just thought I'd check in to say hi.
Today was really a lovely day.
Sunny and warm, but not too warm.
Perfect for gardening and I still have
plenty that needs tending to.
Here were today's projects....
Planted some pots and the window boxes
on the shed. They look pretty wimpy right
now so I hope to show you them in a few weeks.
Got the fountain working and filled
for our fine feathered friends
Yep....still need to weed.
Taking it one day at a time :)
Planted a bed next to the deck with
Frilly Russian Sage and Impatiens.
These should fill in nicely and the
sage will come back every year....I hope anyway :)
Installed a new iron trellis for the
Clematis Vine. Should be very
pretty once it starts blooming.

I also did some finishing work, printed charts,
worked on the instructions for a new chart
and even did a little chatting on the phone
with a few friends. Not a bad day!
Hope your day was full and filled with
things you love too.
Smiles, ~Nan

Your garden is looking lovely, restful and inviting--love your water fountain. Weeds? I have plenty of those--they are always waiting and calling to me
I love your America banner in your heading. Did you make it? So appropriate for this time of year. Mary A
A rewarding satisfying day. Pretty fountain and sage.
Your gardens are looking great, Nan.
Every garden needs a bird bath or, as in your case, a fountain !

Ahhhh... it's garden time! Nice touches throughout!
Can I ask you a question regarding your Clematis...do you cut it down every year or just leave it alone at the end of the season?
Just to answer a few questions. To Mary A. The AMERICA Banner was made by Ivonne of The Crackling Crows. She has a wonderful array of banners. They are the best. Here is her blog http://folkartbythecracklingcrows.blogspot.com/
To Debbi...It is really best to leave clematis alone. You can trim off dead wood but don't cut down. I learned the hard way and it has never been as full and beautiful as it originally was when we moved into this house. Plus they love their roots cool so I plant around them so their feet are in the shade.
Both of you have your blogs set to no reply so I could not email you.
Thanks for visiting! Nan
Oooooh, I love the fountain! I am certain that your garden visitors do as well...there is nothing as delightful as the sight and sound of a water feature.
Happy blooms to you!
Sending hugs...

Lovely gardening Nan, I have the black thumb of death. I kill everything! LOL My favorite would have to be the trellis you installed. Sounds like you had a wonderfully productive day.
Enjoy your summer fun - playing in the dirt! Like your new blog design!
