Care to join me for a stroll in my garden on this sizzling
summer day?
summer day?
E-X-H-A-L-E
Granted, my garden has seen better days. Days when wisteria
didn’t strangle the life from my beloved hydrangeas and lilies. Days when I
wasn’t as timid about stepping on fire ants (I’m deathly allergic!), helping to keep weeds at bay. At some point, I grew tired of the battle and bowed to the power invasive plants demand.

Still, there are moments when I step outside, exhale and
stand in awe of God’s artistic flair:
(Sorry, I couldn’t resist. After all, Buttercup is now part of the landscape — and a beaut!)
Thank you for joining me for the stroll as well as the June series.
This Wednesday, I’ll announce our NEW
series for July but in the meantime, I have two gifts I’d love to share with
someone. One gift is a signed copy of Covert Justice by Lynn Blackburn
(remember this post?) The second gift complements our Summer Snippets theme, beach chairs and all.
Simply leave a comment on the blog and your name will be entered into a random
drawing to be held on Friday. The winner will be announced in next Monday’s
post!

Buttercup!!
I'm with you, Warren. If I had to leave a comment about anything on this post mine would also be Buttercup! 🙂 She's quite the addition for our backyard. Thanks so much for the encouraging emails you send me following certain blog posts. Encouragement is a wonderful gift of God.
Blessings to you from SC!
Yes, so many beautiful landscapes are now off-limits for me, too. But that doesn't mean I don't still enjoy seeing them. Thank you for the allergy-free look at your beautiful garden!
And one of these days I want to stop and see Buttercup!
I would love for you to stop by, Vonda! We'll have an awning up soon so she'll be uncovered and easier to access. I'll keep you posted. 🙂 Of course, you're welcome to stop by Buttercup or no Buttercup!
Thanks for stopping by Fragrant Ink in the meantime. 🙂
Just Add Summer my grsnny always said when we strolled in her garden
I love that, Marsha! I'm convinced our grandmothers had the best sayings of all. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing.
Enjoyed the stroll in your yard. I think I'm settled now so you can share your Clemson orange daylily :). Happy Summer Days!!!
