Early Morning in my Garden

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.  ~Russel Baker

After nearly melting like a popsicle in the the sun on Saturday (temperatures were over 100) we get a little reprieve from the weather.  This coming week will all be in the 80’s and I am so happy.

I woke up early this morning and went out into my garden.  I was going to weed, but I went back in for my camera instead.  It rained a little in the night and everything was so lovely and begging to be photographed.

Here is my Hostas, whose scent I love.  One bloom fills my room, but still manages to be light and lovely… never overpowering.

Would you believe this is a carrot that has gone to seed?  I think I might start growing them for the flowers instead!

I love my Peace Rose.  All my roses are beginning to bloom again… a late Summer reprise.

Here’s one of my favorite parts of my summer garden… the edible part.

I also have good news… I finally finished Lily and Emma’s school bags over the weekend.  I only missed the first two days of school.  It wasn’t that they were hard to make.  They weren’t.  The pattern was quite easy.  It was the design that I sweated bullets over.  I will post them tomorrow.   Here’s a few sneak peek pictures:
