Summer

It finally feels like summer here, although we get a little rain almost every day. My daughter said it's like we live in Seattle. Not that we've ever been there, but we've heard that they get a lot of rain. Yesterday we sat outside for quite a while. Arianna read while I went through my hundreds of emails and worked on class reunion stuff. This is our makeshift desk (you can see my computer in the background--it's covered with stickers). The peonies are from my garden and I don't remember what the little purple flowers are called, but they smell heavenly.



I took some pictures of other flowers in the yard. Unfortunately, my little garden is looking pretty bad because I've been so busy with the house and stuff that I haven't had much time to devote to it. But some flowers have come up in spite of that! I'm terrible at remembering the names of flowers and plants, but I'll take a stab at it.

Stargazer Lily



I think this is a strawflower. I love the color.
