In bloom

I haven't made it to the garden yet this week to check on my veggies and herbs, but despite the 90-something degree weather, the front yard is holding up pretty well....except the grass.

Right now, I've got coreopsis, lilies, and an old favorite of my childhood - snapdragons. Fess up - how many of you would make then 'talk' for you? Some of the hostas are flowering, and there are marigolds, salvia and celosia, too. Plus, I love the lamb's ear...so soft!

I even put dear old Smidgen out in the garden with me last night. She ate grass and pounced on ants. So cute.
