Summer has finally arrived in New Jersey and I am so happy! I realize that even though my schedule is “lighter” during the summer, I am filling my days with time in my garden, summer outings, company and cookouts, family, and my two adorable grandsons. By the time, I sit down to my computer and look at any pictures that I have taken during the day, it is a bit late at night.
Here is a sampling of my summer thus far. To see captions, hover your mouse over each photo. To view larger images, click on any photo.
This is also my second submission to Jude’s June Garden Photo challenge: The Essence of Summer.
What are you thankful for?
Blessings,
Mar

Great collection of photos, Mar. They give a good impression of your beautiful and entertaining summer so far. And, you already have blueberries in your garden! 🙂

Thank you Liesbet! Unfortunately the birds keep finding a way to get to my blueberries through my netting!

A lot like me! I am spending so much time in the garden that I am very late on to the computer and visiting blogs! Today I have decided to take time out, even though we have a lovely rain-washed sky and I still have weeding and sowing to do! But my body needs a rest and what better way than visiting your gorgeous garden. I am very envious of the gate and the porch!
Thanks for sharing these with me xx

Thank you so much for the visit Jude! My husband is really the one with the green thumb. I just tell him what flowers/plants I like and he gets them for me. He’s the one who plans and designs the garden. He built the raised beds and gate. I am the one who plants the annuals, waters, deadheads, weeds and harvests the vegetables/fruit, although he also helps with that too. 🙂
