Bloomin' Tuesday...

There's not a lot of blogging going on in my neck of the woods. Last week we had a houseful of visiting kids and grandkids and the party continues this week. (There's no better excuse for ignoring a computer!) I do, however, have a few sewing and craft ideas simmering on the back burner that I will share with you when things quiet down next week.

Once again it's time for Bloomin' Tuesday and I have a few photos to share. This first photo features my morning glories. Each year I form a "tent" out of poles for my morning glories to climb. Most years by August these tents are covered in blooms. This year is a sorry year to showcase them because they are struggling. We had such a cool spring and late start to summer that they didn't start sprouting until late. Still, you'll get the idea with this picture...

Here's how they look in a "normal" year...

I also have morning glories planted by our fence. They climb up twine that I string along the fence...

My roses are making a comeback and we've got more luscious buds and blooms...

Last year I planted some hosta plants next to our fence. This area had always been a trouble spot. It's a shaddy, soggy spot and in the past I haven't been able to get anything to grow in that location. The hostas survived the heat of last summer, and this summer they are thriving. Hostas love cool wet spots so this is an ideal area for them. A couple of months ago I planted some impatiens between each hosta and they are doing well too...

That's all I've got this week!
