Short walk through the garden
Busy weekend. I’m working all four days of the extended Fourth of July weekend, but we get to close at 9PM, instead of 10PM on Tuesday (7/4/06) so that we can enjoy the fireworks. My impressions, on talking to longtime employees, is that we’ll be lucky to get out before 10:30PM due to the crowds waiting for the local Banks, Oregon fireworks to begin. Nice gesture, though.
UPDATE: 7/7/06 – Managed to get out at 9:45, though we also managed a record for July 4th. Nearly $2000 for the day and $1500 of that between 3pm and closing. Whew.. What a night..
Work continues slowly on the Feather and Fan shawl. I may start a pair of socks too, for a diversion.
Can you tell I love this time of year? So much growing and so many pictures to take.
Don’t they remind you of three ballerinas spinning on their toes? Fuchsia magellanica
A hardy Blue Passion flower which has managed to survive three winters with us and has been bursting with blooms this spring and summer.
Rosa centifolia (aka Cabbage Rose). Amazing number of petals, wonderful scent. This one is an unknown. We’ve taken it to many Rose experts, but still no identification. It was on the property when we purchased it.

Absolutely breath taking!!!
Thank you for sharing your garden with us. Your photos are a feast for the eyes and balm for a weary soul. It’s 6:14 a.m. and I get off work in a couple of hours. Your blog helps me feel more human. IT operations… what a joy…;)
Wow, beautiful photos.
I’ve been on a socks stint for a few weeks now, I’ll have to post some photos…
hello
Thank you for those gorgeous photos ~ you’ve brightened a grey, rainy day here in central Maryland!!
Those are interesting roses. They remind me of peonies, in the color and the way the petals are kind of blooming yet mashed in the one facing the camera. Very pretty.
