July flew by and I guess I have spent the whole month in the garden and at the cabin. I did work on some fun stitching projects for Ella and Taylor’s rooms that should be ready to share with you next time.
I have little to show you from my sewing room, but did take snapshots of my yard last week. July is the peak for most of the plants in my garden. Some early blooming plants are lingering and the late summer blooms have arrived. Take a few minutes and “stroll” through my garden with me.

The fragrance has to be intoxicating.
Thank you for sharing your garden of Eden with all of us.

We are HOT in Sacramento – 106 and cooking. The hills have all turned golden brown and fire season is in full swing. To look at all your greenery just makes my day!

Personally, I confess, I have a black thumb. I don’t know how or why plants come to my home to die. Perhaps the wrong balance of wet or dryness.
I’m having the surprise of a lifetime watching a sweet potato grow in a glass of water in my windowless kitchen. All I’m doing is keeping the glass full & it’s now sprouting several branches! I feel like a proud Mama.
Nothing compared to your splendor, however for once a plant is flourishing in my home!

August 4, 2017 at 9:01 am (2 years ago)Thanks Linda….after the 4 bouts with hail early this spring, most things have recovered (except for the hosta) which I did not photograph. Things always start to go down hill in August unless I cut things back around July 4th and then they have a chance to bounce back. This year I hit most things at the right time.
It is always a challenge, however.
