august garden

by this time of year, the garden is usually out of my control. the weeds sometimes outgrow the plants, and the "jungle" feeling is in full force. most of my annuals are dead or dying, probably due to lack of attention. i TRY, but i always lose it by now. too hot, and too much work. still, the perennials keep things interesting. lots of colors, mostly clashing...

this tiger lily sits by my reading chair. sits ON my reading chair, really.

objects are larger than they appear in pix ;)

first time for hollyhocks, i bought two this spring. reminds me of farming. very old school.


my favorite lilies.

i like to call it "the tomato chair," for the obvious reasons.

and the fruits of the labor. nothing better to brighten the house up.
