Let's start with some Tomato Soup!

I don't have a grilled cheese sandwich to go with that for you, but I do have a Flame Thrower Echinacea:

They aren't as full as they had been, but they're still cool-looking!
The Butterfly Weed is going strong:

Nearby are the Lavender plants:

...and just over the wall from them, on the very bottom tier, are the Crape Myrtle:

Let's pan out a bit, so you can get the full effect:
Just beyond the Crape Myrtle are the three Rose of Sharon bushes with the white blooms; here are a few close-ups for you:

The other Rose of Sharon bush is still in bloom, too:

I hope the walk through our gardens helped you find a bit of serenity. I'll leave you with perhaps the most serene pic of them all ... me, in my most peaceful state of mind:
Me and my mom. Total bliss. |
Have a wonderful Sunday!
