it is in the middle of summer and it is very bright and colorful, even with all the rain we have there are flowers in bloom and berries ripen. i'm fighting with the slugs, they are so super hungry and have eaten all blooms of the pumpkin plant so far. it is doing it's best and just produces new buds and i'm collecting the slugs each night and each morning, we will see how far it goes later this summer.
the hydrangea is in full bloom, wonderful and it just stays that way. a wonderful pink among the leafy bushes. it's a good memory of a friend, she liked hydrangeas and then my grandmother had two or three bushes behind the house. so bright and still so very lacy with it's tiny pedals.
the third plant in full swing is our blackberry bush. full of fruit and slowly changing it's color. still lots of green berries, though the red and black are getting stronger. it's not as sweet as the blackberries at my parents house, still i like them and they make for wonderful little snacks and there is so much fruit, that i'm certain of a few containers that will get put into the freezer for desserts later in the year. this is summer here around the house. people seem unhappy with the weather, as it is very rainy since the beginning of july, and there is more to come. though i don't mind too much and i'm sure of a sunny august...
