Open Gardens- Four

Phlox-- variety---LAURA -
 fell in love with the color
 and Purple is daughter Laura's favorite color

the garden marker is for the lilac behind the phlox

A beautiful hybrid daylily

The Filipendula in bloom

Bird Bath Redo-
Winter had finally created a crack and the basin
 no longer would hold water--
 so this redo of things in the yard
 with a spot for thirsty birds allows it a second life

Happy plants before the 100 degree
 weather headed our way in Virginia

Bacopa in bloom and pots filling out

Purple angelonia

Little girl and the daisies

Crocosmia- Lucifer-- just beginning to bloom

And awaiting the intense heat coming this way.......and so we remember the sun-

"It rises at one end of the the heavens
 and makes it circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat."

Psalm 19:6

And so we rest today knowing the heat is coming....
.and hold thankfulness for shade and refreshing waters.
