It’s that time of year again, when everything seems to be blooming all at once.

Though May is my favorite month, full of promise and hope of a bountiful summer, July runs a close second just because it’s the middle of summer.

I took a wander around the yard today and realized just how much stuff in my gardens was blooming.

On a warm sunny day with big white puffy clouds everything looks perfect.

And I realize I love being retired so that I can take a leisurely walk around the yard and discover blooms hiding among the foliage.

Stuff, that in the old days of working long hours far from home, I would have missed, only noticing spent blossoms way too late.

So today I savor my freedom and the beauty of a warm summer day. And I’m sharing it all with you.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the mini tour of my gardens. Have a wonderful day in your part of the world!
