Sum-sum-summertime!

I love summer sunshine.  All the plants are flourishing (though we do have to water them regularly).  It seems to be prime time for the day lilies....

....and I went further to get another angle.........

........oh good grief......what is Poppa doing now?  Anyway at the other side of the house, the geraniums are all putting on a beautiful display....

..........and around the corner, the summer lilies were also very showy......

.........I checked out the hosta.......

...........noticed that Poppa's little smoke tree is going to produce "smoke" this year....

...........and the fuschia plant - which I was worrying about, since I hadn't had one before - is just fine....

.........isn't it pretty?  Finally I headed to the back of the house to check out the tomatoes....

..........there are three little fruits on the tomato plants now...........and moved on to the peppers....

........Hee!  Aren't they cute little things?  Then, when I went around the next corner.........there was Poppa......

.......still working on something.  This time I asked.............Oh sure!  He's cleaning the filter from the up-right vacuum so he can suck up all the dust and bits from this surface...........

.........which is the sub-floor over top of the styrofoam insulation that you saw at the end of the last blog post.  He has all the sub-floor down now - he's so glad!  That was hard work!

The other nice thing about this time of year is that our little boys can play outside.  Munchie is especially fond of his pool.....

............he could hardly wait to get his shorts off.........

...........check the temperature of the water..........

..........and climb in!  As you can see..........

.........Little Smiley checked the water............

...........and decided it was more fun to play with the hose!

Meanwhile, I had better get back to my knitting because as soon as our wonderful summer ends  - some people will be wanting to have their scarves ready!
