It is a wonderful color. I can only see one of these out there of this color. The zinnias are getting to be taller even though they are not all the same height.
The phlox are starting to look pretty weathered. It is the middle of August so I guess it should be expected. The rains and the winds are hard on them but they do just start dropping the small individual flowers on the ground making it look like pink snow.
My roses are in their second blooming cycle right now. It was slow coming but it shows here how the four are all in different development stages.
The bush at the bottom of the stairs had a lot of deadwood this spring so it didn't look like it was going to have many blooms. It has revived even though the major form or shape has shifted in appearance because of the loss of stems on the north side of it. With the new fence installed they may not freeze out so badly. .
I spent time cleaning up some of my mess from the weed trimming that I did yesterday. I also started the cutting away of my peonies today. I do a couple of bushes at a time each day as they have to be stuffed into paper bags for recycle. The peonies are starting to get a gray mold or rust on them so it is time to remove them. They are sure healthy otherwise with all our great rainfall this year. I have three more to remove in the back yard and then I need to work on the row of peonies in the front yard. I am also fighting back a vine that the former owner had planted. I think I would like to completely eliminate from the front flower beds as it just keeps spreading even on the rock garden surfaces.
We did get up to 92 degrees F. this afternoon. It is great for the swimming pool owners to get in the water and stay there all afternoon. My walk to the mailbox is the most and only exposure that I have to do this afternoon. Thanks for stopping by today.
