The Humble Bungalow Garden
We have been away on the boat...and had motor trouble.
Repairs need to happen before we can go out on it again.
Midweek I drove upisland for a few days
with our son and 3 grand children.
Oodles of fun in the sun and a crazy thunder and lightning storm!
Mini Golf, bumper boats, pooltime, crafts...
Fresh veggies from The Humble Bungalow Garden and Greenhouse.
The garden is looking wonderful and we are starting to harvest vegetables.
Limelight Hydrangeas
and
Himalayan Honeysuckle
I love the combination of colours and textures.
This wee green grasshopper hitched a ride from Victoria all the way to Parksville.
The views from our suite.
Sandy beaches and many lovely homes.
Abraham Darby
a stalwart David Austin Rose
very frilly and frothy
a beautiful fragrance.
Second flush of sweet peas...
Monty Don said to cut ALL the flowers off and expect a flush of new ones.
I was skeptical but it works.
BTW
I had an email from a reader
saying that ads are popping up in the blog side bar
that are related to the US election and the NRA.
I do not live in the US.
My blog is not political in any way, shape or form.
It is my understanding that any ads that do pop up
are related to searches by the users of the device.
North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre is located in Errington, BC
near Parksville and Qualicum Beach.
The centre rehabilitates animals that are injured and then releases them back into the wild.
There are a few animals that are permanent residents.
Their injuries were so severe
that they will not be able to fend for themselves.
The centre is clean
the cages are large
the habitats inside are similar to the wilderness
that the animals call home.
Look at this precious owl.
Farley cannot fly, he was hit by a car in Prince George BC.
He underwent an operation but has never been able to regain the ability to fly.
We are enjoying hosting outdoor "Happy Hours" with friends and family.
It is a wonderful way to stay connected and remain safe.
How is your summer going?
The time seems to be flying by here...
I've got lots of things planned for the next few weeks.
Catching up with friends and a spa date with my baby sister who just turned 60!
Take care and stay safe.
