Wedding Reception

Well, it's been a week now since the wedding and reception. It was such a lovely event. I wanted to post a few photos of the days' happeninings.

We've got baby Swallows

We have been watching two Swallows swoop around our backyard for a few months now. The Mom will poke her head out of the hole on hot summer days, and rest it on the rim of the hole. Tonight I was watching her come in and out of the birdhouse, when we discovered there are at least two baby birds inside. The Mom and Dad kept flying around, catching bugs, and bringing them back to the little ones. They sure have been keeping the population of mosquitos down for us this summer. They are fun to watch.

July garden

Well, we had a wonderful wedding reception in the backyard. The garden performed beautifully. It met all of my expectations. The sweetpeas were booming like crazy on the fence and trellis. The daisies were in full-bloom. The day lillies were out, and it all looked beautiful dressed with soil pep on every garden.

Sweet Peas for the wedding

The Sweet Peas that were planted in containers for the wedding are growing and blooming. I think they will look great on the tables.

The Sweet Peas that were planted outside around the fence are performing beautifully. I just looked at them tonight and they are beginning to bloom. I was not expecting them to be blooming by July 5, but this was a pleasant surprise.
