After a nice soak and shake, these mostly tillandsia air plants are almost dry enough to go back on my windowsill.

My living room jungle is coming alive with the lower light angling in from the southern exposure.

This is where I have my coffee every morning. The sun comes in the south window this time of year, a blessing for dark Seattle. I love having plants right there.

Hardy fuchsia is very good in the fall garden, still going strong. Blooms in shade or sun. They look like earrings to me. What do they look like to you?

Got to go on a very short woodsy walk in Central Washington, haven’t for a very long time. The sun peeked out and the leaves above lit up. Bliss for me.

Leafy pattern above. Can you see the shaggy lichen on the branches.

These are some of my very favorite roses, with their sweet and spicy scent. You can see the color varies from bloom to bloom.

Brilliantly colored Double Delight roses live up to their name

In a local Seattle park, I saw a different kind of hosta that’s only starting to bloom right now in mid-August, much later than mine at home nearby. The starry white flowers had a sweet fragrance.

I love these tiny, lacy flowers within the flowers, within the flowers! that some hydrangeas have. With our acidic soils here in the Pacific Northwest, they are certainly blue!

The deeply colored stargazers look good this year, with the red and orange daylilies as a backdrop.

The recent warm weather in Seattle has been beautiful and sunny, true summertime for me.

I fertilized the blueberry bushes at the right time this spring, and I wasn’t stingy. They really liked it. These are almost the size of a quarter. We use mosquito netting and clothespins to close up the edges because the birds would eat them all. I think a pie is in our future.
