Cottage Style Party & August Garden

I've been enjoying my garden without you this month!

I thought I might share what is flowering right now.

August is the month for morning glories and I love this blue and white one!

Two versions of blue and white striped morning glories.

I spray painted some large pots back in the spring and planted some flowering vines to climb the posts holding up my back porch roof.

This climber is moonflower…a vine I can't seem to grow with direct seeding but was able to germinate in a seed starting kit this year.

Moonflowers are HUGE! 

And seem to glow in the moonlight.

These morning glories are climbing on my native daylilies which are long spent.

These have hitched a ride on one of my hanging baskets.

This pink zinnia just keeps pumping out pretty pink blooms.

There is hint of rain drops on this rose.

Can you smell it?

So sweet!

These peach nasturtiums spill out on the lawn from my flower beds.

These brown eyed susans look right at home next to my free fence and $5 birdbath!

This basket of lantana and petunias has been very popular with hummingbirds.

Don't worry…the kitty hiding in the flowers doesn't bother any birds.

But he sure likes to watch them!

These lavender roses are just starting to turn but were still so lovely and delicious smelling!

The kitty statue peeks out above this orange nasturtium.

This glad glows against the early morning fog last week.

An update!

Rememeber my $20 swing find from last year?

I decided to keep the paint color and found a cushion to work with it.

It all came together last weekend with the straw pillows that work with the cushion.

It has become a popular lounging spot for the kitties now.

You are welcome, Daisy!

Hello Friends!

Welcome to this weeks

Cottage Style Party

#110

It occurred to me after I posted my WLYS pictures last week, that I must have found more than just that.

After all, my truck was jammed full!

I stewed on this for a couple of days before I realized I had taken the photos in 2 batches and I had bundled up the first batch and filed them to make room for the second batch on my desktop.

What is that old saying?

Out of sight, out of mind.

Perhaps I am more out of my mind that I should be!

Anywho…if you would like to see photos of the first batch of items I found, please stop by my Etsy shop.

Most of the items are on the home page with a few on the 2nd page. And a few have sold.

My apologies!

Remember I was out of my mind!
