Bedded

These are in bloom in my sun garden.

Unbedded

Neither of these bloom in beds, per se. The butterfly bush backs the irises; the black-eyed susan borders the bridge. (Hey, that's 8 B's.) The black-eyed susan pic was taken weeks later than the butterfly bush one.

Planting

I need to give over one day to planting in the garden. Gifts of flowers, and a purchase in memory of my sister-in-law, await immersion in the rich food supply that is our yard. However, it has been so ghastly hot and humid that even standing up results, for me, in a body-wide film of sweat.

In addition, I want to move a peony to a spot where I do not now have a bed, and plant my purple coreopsis where that peony is now. But Vic doesn't like the idea of a bed where I want the peony to be. So I need to re-think the arrangement of beds.

Astilbe

I'm going to have to move one or both of these; the ferns overgrow them before the middle of July.

Garden, mid June to early July

I have been lax about uploading pics of the garden. I'm all discombobulated since my layoff. At the moment we have two family members in the hospital. Also, when I'm online, I just look endlessly at job postings (none in the area are 'right' for me), or at furnishings (for my parents' house) that accommodate low mobility. So, today, prepare for quite a number of pics of the garden!

Com-Pac at Home

Here's the new boat in our driveway. I went to Boston yesterday to transfer title and register it. Now we wait for the new title to come in the mail.

Victor is really excited about sailing her. We're assigning the name KIWI.
