Wordless Wednesday
I’d bet that having mice crawling all over your head would be a little creepy … even more so if you are a cat who wants to eat the mice!
This cat must have a lot of patience and tolerance!
Sunny days and Sunflowers
In the dark cold winter, as the wind is howling down our driveway and snow if falling outside I often wish that winter would be over and long for the warm days of summer. During those times, when I think of summer, I picture things that remind me of summer – like the beach, walking outside during a warm rain, the smell of fresh cut grass, sitting outside relaxing in the garden and of course the flowers .. the flowers of summer.
Who doesn’t think of summer when they see a sunflower?
Black Eyed Susans (daisies) often remind me of warm sunny days too.
These flowers are blooming right now in my garden. So bright and cheery.
One of the best things about these two flowers is that once they start blooming they often bloom into October, long after most of my other flowers have stopped blooming.
Can you think of a flower, a scent or place that always reminds you of warm summer days?

Looks like a storms a’comin’
Photo Theme. Visit participants. |
This weeks theme is Clouds
I took this photo at about 7:30 this evening. The clouds were low, dark and ominous.
We had some rain earlier in the day and the weather channel had said we were supposed to get thunder storms but so far there’s been no storm. Just the dark dark clouds.
We’ve had a very wet summer here in Toronto. I’m not sure how much rain we had, but it was something like 292 mm or more and that total broke all past records by a long shot! It seems like August might be damp as well.
Sinking Like a Sunset
Wordless Wednesday
I thought I’d post this photo of the sun setting over Lake Ontario (and Toronto) in tribute to the wonderful musician and band that I finally got to see last Saturday night – Tom Cochrane and Red Rider.
Sinking like a Sunset is the name of one of Tom Cochrane and Red Rider’s songs and it was the third song they played at the concert.
I still have to tell you all about the concert. I’m just in awe still. I can’t believe I finally got to see my favorite musician!

Dahlias and Daylilies – oh my!
My front boulevard garden is blooming happily right now. There are daylily, sunflower, cosmo, dahlia and morning glory blooms in abundance. It’s just lovely.
I love these huge pink cactus dahlia blooms. There’s only two or three flowers so far since the three dahlia plants have only just started blooming, but they’ll continue to grow taller and develop more blooms throughout the summer and well into the fall.
If I’m lucky a plant or two might even survive the winter. If I’m smart this fall I could simply dig up the roots and store them in a cool area of the basement and replant them in the spring. I always seem to forget to do this though!
I suppose the color of the daylilies doesn’t really go with the pink Dahlias, but when you see the whole boulevard garden all the colors blend in well.
I think the bright yellow sunflowers help tie the two contrasting colors together.
How is your garden doing this summer? Are some of your favorite plants blooming right now?
