My blog, like life, is a mixture of all sorts of things . . . gardening, nature, crafts and photography. Right now it's the time of year when the focus is more on the non-gardening things I love to do. But I'm always thinking and dreaming of gardening.

A Sunday Morning Stroll

What a gorgeous Sunday morning to take a stroll around the garden. The sun is out and there are a few white clouds in the sky. The birds are chirping and the chipmunks are chipping! The grass is wet with the morning dew as I wander around the garden.

It seems appropriate to focus on the pink flowers this week, as we have just found out that our second grandchild, to be born in October, will be a little girl.


The pinks are blooming in a large clump - and wow, do they have an aroma to them. One of the photos became my header for a little while.

The pink columbine hangs delicately in the morning sun.

The deep pink of the peony as it opens in the shade.

The pink of the money plant or lunaria as the buds burst open.

There are many other plants blooming today ... the blue columbine, the snow in summer, the yellow daylilies, the budding hostas, the honeysuckle vine, the lady's mantle, the impatience and the iris. The photos for today can be the first part of my Garden Bloggers Bloom Day post and all the other photos will be for tomorrow when GBBD actually happens.

The Quiet Country House invites you to take a Sunday stroll around your garden too.

    The pinks are my favorite... or maybe the lush peony blossom. Hmm! They're all beautiful. There is something just perfect about pink flowers in June!

    Thank you for sharing your stroll.
