Dreaming of summertime.

 

Should I let them grow.  They're blocking the barn door.

I noticed the seedlings early in the Spring but I didn't have the heart to pull them out

Besides,  I was hoping that it would be the elusive peach colored hollyhock which has disappeared from my garden.

I decided that one door is not so important when there are 5 other doors in and out of our Barn.

 I can walk through them.  They don't mind

 

I never know what color they will be

Did you know that Hollyhocks make great cut flowers? 

Have a wonderful weekend dear friends. 

It's going to snow around these parts.

Here's the Deal

How would you like to come and help me weed my flower bed?  

No not this one.  This is last years flower bed.

It's this one I need help with.

 You will have to bring your own hoe.  This one was given to me by a very special friend...more than 30 years ago. 

The handle was originally much longer, every time it breaks, the handle gets shorter.

Now, here's the deal

You will be wined and dined. You get to stay in your very own house. 

Fresh Eggs from our chickens for Breakfast and Champagne in the afternoon.  

But first 

 I have to show you what flower seedlings look like.   I won't bother showing you the weeds

1) Asters from Lake Maggiore

2) Cosmos,  3) Zinnias,  4) Nasturtiums,

5) Phacelia,  6, Cherry Tomato.  7) Dill

8) Hollyhock.

The problem is; you have to find them among the weeds.

But your rewards will be manifold.

I will send you pictures in August.


Have a wonderful remainder of the week my dear friends.
