It's been a lovely time here in QC..albeit we could use some rain.
As of today June 6th..my forsaken tomato plants are reviving.Hopefully the groundhogs won't dig them up.
First roses to bloom Yellow Rose of Texas..
Next..one bloom on Champlain many to come and one bloom on Polareis..many to come..and I saw my first chafer.DISGUTING.
If you can find a Maidenhead fern..do it:)Yr after yr I love her dearly.
I watch a TV show called Les Chefs..I love it..the eleventh season..the chefs serve pretty dishes and so often that red veined sorrel adorns the plates..I found some ..It's beautiful..I hope it keeps thriving..2 healthy plants.Funny..at one nursery the healty pots were $5.99 ..bought 2 worried I would not find elsewhere..I did but it was far smaller ..sold as a pond plant..$18.99.Go figure.
The last two photos are weeds..I have pink and white and I keep them:)♥
Some weeds are keepers..
Also blooming all mu single peonies and some irises..forget me nots almost done..nepeta thriving..salvia too..

Your garden is beautiful. I love the colour of the polaris rose. How handsome Lucas is, and how quickly the littles grow up. We celebrated a couple of birthdays this week - a 10 years and 3 years. I love them all (5 of them) so much.
ReplyDeleteAwww Lorrie..I hear you:)The so much..I know that feeling:) Thank you:)
DeleteLucas, the complete package! I love that 1st shot looking over his shoulder in the mirror.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are lovely and now I believe you have more going on there than I do. You not only caught up but have left me in the dust. LOL
Thanks for such a wonderful share.
Oh you made me laugh..we do catch up but its a whirlwind..at one point not much left..hope all my seeds take..Funny the last pic of him doesn't really capture L..But I love it..he's just a gem.When they were little my shots were keepers..Now Caroline's are the keepers and M's.
DeleteMonique, your garden never disappoints. I sure hope the groundhog doesn't interfere with your plants. Lucas is such a handsome young man. How proud your family must be that he is doing so well in his young life. That is what we all hope and pray for our dear ones. It's always fun to see your paintings--glad you'll be continuing to paint Southern People.
ReplyDeleteThat's ALL we want.Happy ..healthy..happy..Thank you Pam.
DeleteLovely garden as always. Hope you get some good rain as we did yesterday. I am waiting for my day lilies to bloom. Your grandson Lucas is such a good looking young man. What are his plans after graduation? My oldest little starts middle school in the fall.One wants to see them grow but yet keep them little. Such is life. I am excited to see your new people watercolors set in the south of France.
ReplyDeleteHi Ga,,Lucas loves sports..he was on the high school football team and quite a few colleges recruited him.He chose Vanier and will be part of the Cheetahs.I see many football games here there and everywhere in our future.I think long term he's not sure..He mentions commerce..but who knows.I just want them happy.I remember meeting a friend and I asked how her grandchildren were and the first thing was.. he's going to be a doctor.I hope a happy one.I can see her happiness over this career choice as her darling husband was a well respected doctor here.We never know what our chldren..grandchildren will be.I'm no Rhodes Scholar:)So Que sera sera..whatever will be:)
DeleteThe above is Ga
ReplyDeleteNow why don’t my weeds look that pretty? Although right now my Shasta daisies look pretty but in a few days as I’m cutting back the ones gone over I will be saying something different😬. Your gardens are filled with beauty. And Lucas is a handsome young man. They do grow up fast. Only one little left here, Lillian. She will be off to 1st grade next year, Katherine will be in 5th. No pictures of Frankie either…
ReplyDeleteI remember your girls..wee...I cannot believe Lillian grade 1! How lucky we have been T with our Littles and bigs:)
DeleteYou have beautiful grandchildren! Does Lucas have a date?dah?💙
ReplyDeleteHis MOM:)Truly.
DeleteBeautiful post with lovely flowers and weeds, ha ha. Lucas has grown into a very handsome young man. Time does fly by. So glad you are still painting your people, now Southern people.
ReplyDeleteOn rainy days a paintbrush is a grand friend.it's either that or a mop lol.Or a spatula.Thank you Linda!
DeleteAlways a delight to view your post, thank you. xo, V.
ReplyDeleteVal..how are you?xx
DeleteWe went for dinner and stayed awhile, but Adam had a date!
ReplyDeleteHappy Graduation to Lucas. What a handsome young man. And what a big deal to be finishing high school! Everything from your garden looks lovely (I would expect no less!) and it's fun to see your Southern French girls! (I have those same weeds and I keep them, too!)
ReplyDeleteThey are too cute!! Too cute to pull..A weed is but an unloved flower:)
DeleteI almost missed your garden as I couldn't take my eyes off of Lucas :-) I have groundhog issues here too but I always say that if something is not eating my plants then my garden is not part of the ecosystem. I've created a habitat for every living thing LOL. It's always fun to see your paintings.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to grow..lol just not happy to feed groundhogs..I love the bees..the birds ..we have several birdhouses and places to nest..but digging up and eating things..I'm not that green lol.
DeleteAs lovely and lush as your garden is, Lucas really steals the show in this post! What great shots, even though he doesn't like having his photo taken. Mack is the same way - LOL. Love your new France people series! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteHe hates having his pic taken.:) Like me..but I mean I would gladly oblige if I was Lucas.Gardens are coming along..rained all night..:)
DeleteYour garden looks amazing!!..also your grandson 😉🍀💙🍀 love Ria
ReplyDeleteThank you Ria..and Lief is too:)
