We have had unbearably humid and hot weather lately...unseasonably warm for June in PA. I was up very early Sunday morning - before 5:30 - and after reading the paper and writing up my grocery list I headed out to the garden. From 7-10:30 I weeded and planted and deadheaded...working up a good sweat in the humid morning. But it was well worth it as my yard looks great!
After a few hours of work on the computer - I hate bringing work home - I ventured out of the home office where I had retreated with the AC cranked up to find that the hazy humid weather had broken and the sun was out and it was clear and sunnny...no sign of humidity. I grabbed my knitting bag and headed out to sit in the yard...along with my camera.
As I knit on my summery cardigan - Liesl in a cotton blend yarn - I stopped often to take pictures from my chair.
A view from my garden gate...the old cemetary behind our house...I love this cemetary...and enjoy browsing through it...looking at all the old headstones...some from the early 1800's.
Gold Finches - love our thistle feeder!
My solar powered birdbath...when it is in the direct sun it has a fountain at the center that spouts up.
All from the view from my garden chair..................


How lovely!
I'm so glad the humidity went away.

Thanks Carrie! We have had some great cool evenings and have enjoyed sitting in the garden after work - knitting and wine in hand!
