Clematis Jackmanii
In a deep blue and purple when the blooms are new.
They fade a wee bit in the sunshine.

in shades of mauve orange and red.
I wear this with my denim jacket and dress.
A lovely fresh rose fragrance from L'Occitane of Provence.

Fig scented Lip exfoliating cream and a new lipstick.
Vibrant red summer colour.

The bees love this flower!
May is a very colourful month in The Humble Bungalow Garden.
I've been hand watering almost everyday due to the light rainfall that we have had this month.
Its so relaxing standing outside in the sunshine with the hose and nozzle spraying much needed moisture to the thirsty plants.
The hummingbirds and butterflies like to fly into the fine mists of water.
It's almost like they are saying thank you to me for providing them with water!
The geraniums on the front porch continue to put on a beautiful display.
I like geraniums as they are stalwarts in the potted plant arena!
Quite inexpensive and repeat bloom all summer long.
I opt for plants in a bold shade of red and some pure white ones.
The red ones in the planter on the railing
with some white ones in pots on the tables by the front door.
The white lavender is a new plant.
The bees are drawn to this one in droves.
I finished reading Educated, a memoir, by Tara Westover.
It was a difficult book to get through...
some parts were very graphic and utterly terrifying
her story is truly amazing.
I think I will read something much lighter next!
We've got a long weekend coming up as it is Victoria Day on Monday.
I hope to get out weeding in the garden, do some cooking and entertaining.
What plans do you have for the weekend?
