So much valuable property for such a short bloom season (which of course brings rain :)) Are your neighbor's geraniums the same as Roxanne or Johnson's blue varieties? That sounds beautiful!

The days of sunshine have been few here as welll. The grass is very green at least :) I fear for the mosquito population now. Poor drought-stricken California would love some of this rain. I will keep my fingers crossed for your lilacs and also your Father's Day forecast :) We had a dwarf lilac at the corner of our house and it grew so big we had it removed. Did you harvest your garlic yet or does that come later? I harvested my very first radish in the container planting! Beautiful sables and I spy the Downton ladies :) I will miss them!

I love peonies. They are almost my favourite of my favourite flowers. I thought we had planted peonies, but we didn't. We planted double poppies, lol DUH! I have never heard of or seen that variety of lilac. I am always learning something new about gardens from you. I hope you were able to get your infestation crisis under control. We spotted mildew on our apple tree this week and had to do some really mega pruning. I know, not a good time of year for that, but one must do as one must do! Your sables are so beautiful. But everything you bake is beautiful. Just like you! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-50284584881815413542015-06-17T19:20:21.260-04:002015-06-17T19:20:21.260-04:00Like your art:)Like your art:)La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-70440244091057414902015-06-17T19:20:02.067-04:002015-06-17T19:20:02.067-04:00That's why you hear me bemoan my monochromatic...That's why you hear me bemoan my monochromatic winter;)<br />Thanks Jenni.La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-29584294276864205582015-06-17T19:19:30.096-04:002015-06-17T19:19:30.096-04:00Not yet..been occupied.. but I will definitely lo...Not yet..been occupied.. but I will definitely look into your suggestion from your blog..always so helpful!La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-30996746431402984272015-06-17T19:18:44.772-04:002015-06-17T19:18:44.772-04:00Today was nice..the weather is all over the map..e...Today was nice..the weather is all over the map..everywhere..too much rain..not enough..<br /><br />La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-67936700694233987442015-06-17T19:17:56.358-04:002015-06-17T19:17:56.358-04:00Thank you Rosa..Thank you Rosa..La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-9421370451590721882015-06-17T18:02:00.527-04:002015-06-17T18:02:00.527-04:00Exquisite!

I don't have any..I always forget until I see someone growing them.<br />The same for poppies and planting more bulbs... One of our neighbors grows peonies and sells them at the Farmer's market. They don't seem to last long after cutting. We need more rain. We did get a thunderstorm recently. The cookies look so good and the recipe seems easy enough. Have your tried adding your recipes to Key Ingredient?

Just the hazards of nature I guess. We are experiencing record low rainfalls here in the Pacific NW. I think it's going to be a long dry summer.
