After another hot, steamy day, I settle down on my couch in front of a fan and hope to make my Thursday blog post. I think a Throwback Thursday might be fun. Only I fear I may repeat myself. Then again, perhaps some readers did not see these pictures the first time or any of the times I threw back to them. Or they may not mind a re-run. I can only hope for the best.
Wow! Look at all the grass!
This picture is from June 2017. Look how subdued the daisies are! They are not marauders squeezing out the peonies and forget-me-nots. And Frankentree looks quite small and manageable.
Don’t they look ruthless?
This is a picture from this year, a couple weeks ago when they were still blooming. It is definitely time to cut down what is left. I hope to have at it with the clippers this weekend.
Where or where did my irises go?
This is from June 2018. Did I really have that many irises? Apparently so. I had none this year. Perhaps my mother will thin hers out in the fall and I can get some more bulbs. I do love irises.
Some more blooms that looked better in years past.
And here is my rhododendron in June 2019. I had some blooms this year but not as many. Branches from the pine tree behind it encroached on its space. Something else to have at with the clippers or perhaps a hack saw. Nothing like being a little bloodthirsty in my yard work. There are some wild grapevines and pricker bushes that also need slaying. It might make a good blog post. As always, I hope you’ll stay tuned.
