The Garden on July 4th

Today was Independence Day – a holiday in USA and a time for people to hang the US flag; Margaret did too this year, now that she’s officially American:

I took lots of pictures around the garden too, since it’s all very green & healthy this year (the result of an easy winter, loads of rain and finally lots of sun)!

Plants love the rain

While we were in Florida, there was a solid week of heavy rain up here – 15″ fell (about 2 or 3 months worth!); but the plants all loved it, especially now with wam weather following … loads of fresh new growth everywhere. Here’s a few pics, including the amazing Broom, and a lot of healthy fish:

Bridgette likes this weather too – sunny with plants to shelter under!
