June: the month of fragrance!

Even with the nasty air haze from the fires in the southwest, I take deep breaths this month because it seems the whole world is blooming. I fall asleep to the evening scents of dame's rocket and the russian olives... that I sometimes curse because of their growing habits but have to admit to their intense perfume.

All of my April bulbs and May predicters of Spring are on the decline, although a few late lilacs join in with the mid blooming iris to add their fragrance.

I love gardening almost as much as I love writing and cooking. Sometimes I feel I was born two generations too late. Then I sit down to find an email from my granddaughter or pictures from a friend and I am all about the electronic age.

Yesterday I began an online album of the befores and afters of the complete yard do over that my brother and husband are asisting me to create...
At some point the link will appear here and I hope that everyone will take a minute to stroll through my beautiful rustic paradise.

May peace fill you today and every day.
