Come sit with me in my garden!

As my blog title says....
Come sit with me in my garden... 
  You can enjoy listening to the birds, watch the squirrels and chipmunks play and I can even have music playing!
 Let's dine and have some tea!


What's that you say?  
We are too far apart to visit each other?  
Well, I  guess we will just have to continue our visits 
through our blogs!

Let's meander on...
I love these Begonias
I've decided that begonias are a good investment plant!
Just don't let them sit around in too much water...they don't like that! 
This year I wanted some really bright rich summery colors and I think I achieved that!  The impatiens are a good investment plant too- little fuss and they fill in nicely! 

Have you ever seen this little vine plant?  Mine relocated over here and keeps growing out onto the patio.  I don't know what it's called since I lost the tag.  
It has these sweet dainty flowers!

Out front....

 I'm still enjoying this Rose of Sharon shrub.  It 
really filled out a lot more since I posted about it 
a week ago.
Such a pretty flower....you wouldn't know it's beauty unless you got up close enough to see it!

 Russian Sage

 Larkspur 

 I'm playing with different settings on my camera trying to be more creative!

We planted this pepper plant in June and a tomato plant. The tomato plant has lost it's leaves and still has some fruit but it's pretty pathetic looking so I won't even show it!  It was called an Early Girl....perhaps the early part is because it poops out very early!!

Just beside the area of the peppers are the cannas which just started to bloom...it took all summer which disappointed me.  I bought 9 of them at a big box store and they are supposed to be red.... as you can see they aren't!
They are pretty- a very tropical looking orange color... 

What's this?
Well look what just drove by! This is the 2nd load of hay I saw today.  It's value is like gold these days...there is going to be a big shortage of it this year and a lot of farmers are going to sell their livestock off because they can't feed them.

Back to the morning glories....
 They are coming on nicely.  Today we were witnessing them open as we sat and had our morning coffee.... 
Nature sure knows how to creative loveliness!
One day wonders!

By the way...
Did I ever show you the silly Turkey that was visiting back in June.  She was filling her self up eating birdseed off the ground and then she decided to jump up on my little bird bath to get a drink!  I was sitting on the deck and had my iPhone so I moved closer to the edge to take a video of her.  She knew I was there and wasn't quite sure she liked it so 
I had to be very quiet!

Thank-you for visiting and sharing my gardens this summer!  I'm sure there will be more to share but fall is fast approaching!
