When we get back from out vacation I am always surprised at the amount my garden changes in one week. When I am here and check on it everyday I do not see the changes as clearly. After a week away though it was very clear that my garden had changed a great deal.
When I left my lilies where still tight buds.
My mums went form this to.....
To this.
My Echinacea is blooming and has come up everywhere, Spreading from the few plants I had last year to almost taking over.
I just love these Liatris blooms, Some of them are almost as tall as I am!
They are so pretty with their little spiky tops.
The bees just love them!
Arial's sunflowers have really taken off and all have little flower heads on them.
I love how fuzzy they are, kind of like her :)
These are such sweet summery photos and make a girl want to frolic through the garden all day...

Without seeing your gorgeous photos, I was drawn to your post by the title that appears on my blog roll. "From My Garden"...I wish I had a garden as lovely as yours, Sarah. Your photos, as usual, are stunning in their detail, color, and clarity. The bee looks soft enough to stroke. Beautiful!
Holiday wishes to you, sweet friend :)

Wonderful photos. Really beautiful. I'm glad I found garden photos on your blog......I just had to steer away from those recipes lest I be tempted....lol.
Thank you for your comments on my blog re the tulips. Welcome. I hope you will soon regain your full health, and enjoy many wonderful years with your lovely daughters.
