In this July heat, my roses need a lot of water. They are blooming abundantly!
I make sure to go outside every day and cut off the ones that have finished. In no time at all I have new buds.
Here are some photos of the rear of my house this Summer. We didn't get to mulch but we did plant some nice perennials. Below is one of two rear porches I have.
Here is the other:
More garden in the sun...
Everything is green and pretty. My mind is still on Autumn though! Look at this great idea from Pinterest:
Get one of those foam pumpkins and use that. Reminds me of the fairy gardens everyone is doing for the Summer. You can do this for the Fall!
Country Sampler magazine came out with an Autumn Decorating special issue. I got mine yesterday but haven't had a chance to check it out yet. Caitlin has had VBS this week . My church has so many great activities for us Moms too so I've been enjoying myself there as well.
Can't believe July is just about over. August is going to be a busy month for us. Have a great day and stay cool!
Your yard and blooms are so beautiful. I'm totally digging on your pumpkin miniature idea. Happy soon to be August!
