Well it's only been a month and a half since the last snow but it's been so hot and humid, everything has gone into super grow mode! Here's some photos form the garden Martha Washington Geranium ![]() Peonies ![]() Sweet williams (I didn't know these would regrow this year, the colour is interesting one half is pinker then the other) ![]() Hanging rambling petunias on the barn ![]() Full frontal view of the front of the house. There's a couple of monster hanging petunias on the side of the porch

I know I've said it before - but your house is sooooooo pretty.... Stunning flowers - especially the first geranium.....never seen anything like it, and as for the chipmunk - I've only ever seen one in a zoo !!! Very humid here too, but cooler, and drizzly. Love x

Thanks guys, the chipmunk is a cutie. I have a soft spot for this one, this is the one the cats got last year and Michale and I saved him and put him in the barn, he had a terrible head injury but lived in the barn all winter. He walks funny, rather lopsided and is missing half a tail! I like the chipmunks being in the barn as they won't let the mice live in the same place with them, very snobby chipmunks are |

Lovely Virginia, thanks for showing them. Your house reminds me of the one's in New Zealand. I love verandah's, wish we had one to catch the early morning sun(what sun!!)- and the late evening sundowns?Poppy |

Awww V... That was a lovely thing you did for the little chipmunk... he obviously feels safe with you lot there to look out for him!! Terry says she had not seen a Geranium like yours .... I have seen them everywhere and had some like it myself ... I generally put them in hanging baskets as they are sooo pretty!! Jenx |

Thanks for the lovely comments
The lady who I got the geranium from says to put it in the house for the winter and it will continue to grow and flower all winter. We're having a couple of hot muggy days then a cold front is coming so we're supposed to get wicked thunderstorms, which I love but will be the end of the peonies, they're so pretty but they don't last long! My lawnmower lets Michael walk right up to him/her, it's a baby still and quite small. |
