We have had rain for the past two weeks - we are watching our summer out the window, just like winter!

Day 159
I am trying something new (to me) in the garden this year - ground cherries.
The leaves are lovely colours, and there are pretty little flowers.
The fruit is enclosed in little husks (they will turn brown when the fruit inside is ripe).

Day 152
I was only away for a couple of days, but all kinds of new flowers started blooming -
Day Lilies
French Lilac
Begonia
Perennial Salvia
Rose

Day 151
The trunk show and class went wonderfully. It was lots of fun for me, and the women were so welcoming, and talented!
❤Joanne
Day 150
I organized just some of my quilts for a trunk show. I am off to the western part of the province for the show this evening, and to teach a free motion quilting class on Saturday - I am really looking forward to it.

Day 145
There are big puddles everywhere - we have had steady rain for two days, something we never have (the grass needed the water).

Day 139
My oldest son is mowing lawns for the summer. Today he was mowing at a water treatment plant and came across some Canada geese families - so many babies! He took this video for me (hard to see the babies in this video, just looks like the ground is moving in front of the parents).

Day 136
Our neighbour's cat comes for a visit everyday. He is so friendly and gentle, we love having him over.
The neighbour was surprised we let him in the house - he presses his face against the screen door and meows, who could resist?

Day 134
The first of the lilacs to bloom - this one is a Beauty of Moscow Lilac that we planted last year, so it is the first time we have seen it bloom - a double bloom (and it smells amazing).
❤Joanne
Day 133
I found out this morning that the little fence around the vegetable garden must have a hole!

Day 132
Usually I don't plant the gardens until the beginning of June (we sometimes have frost in June). After the long winter and late spring, I thought that this year would be even later, but that wasn't the case! Summer came in just over a week ago, with a week of about 30℃ temperatures, and I planted my vegetable gardens last Thursday. The first seeds to sprout are radishes!
That is very lumpy, heavy clay soil.
❤Joanne
