Welcome June



                                                                       Hello everyone,
                                       I hope you are enjoying this first weekend in June. June is my favorite month of the year as everything is fresh ,lush and green and yet there is all of the joy of summer yet to come.                    
                             
  1.                                                       The lilac bushes are just coming into full bloom now-another reason  to love June.

                                          It just started to rain here but I quickly took a few shots of our lilacs this evening.                    


                                           Our tulips are almost all gone now-just a few late bloomers and still a little early for peonies etc. but lots of lush green.
  I spent some time at the garden centres this morning,picking out some annuals  for window boxes and planters etc. and then this afternoon we worked in the garden ~ Oh happy day!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Carolyn

Gorgeous photos of the lilacs Carolyn. They are just coming into bloom here too. It sure has been humid the past two days and one more to go tomorrow. I'm enjoying the sunshine when it's not cloudy with thunder showers.

It all looks like something out of a fairytale, Carolyn! Soooo beautiful! My husband wants to top off our big lilac, but I thought I read somewhere that you should never do that. How do you keep yours trimmed up?

I just love lilacs. I haven't seen ay here in AZ! We had too big ones like yours growing up right next to the clothes line. The aroma was gorgeous.
II could sit for hours in your garden and be quite content, no matter the season

Here, lilacs are almost gone. Yours are gorgeous.
Lilacs have always had a special meaning for me. I transplanted in my garden, a lilac coming from my childhood garden. It reminds so many happy memories.
Happy June to you and your garden.
