This is a small corner of the garden that Chloe and I are trying to turn into a Fairie Garden.
My little helper really knows how to pose.
This daylily is an unusual color. The best part is that it blooms all summer long. Don't look at all the dead leaves around it. I'm really behind on working in my flower gardens and not much is going to be happening for a few weeks. It's supposed to be 99 degrees here tomorrow and hotter next week.
Chloe is checking the toad house for toads. That's procedure every time the kids are here.
Nope, he's underground. I guess it's even too hot for him.
The zinnia's are now taller than Chloe.
That's it for now. We leave for vacation tomorrow and I haven't packed a thing.

Gretchen, What a cutie she is. I like that they all check for toads. Wonder what would happen if one jumped out when they lifted the house. :):)Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little garden helper you have. I was weeding under a hosta the other morning and there was a HUGE fat toad....kind of scared me. I moved mo=y toad house to his spot....wonder if he could fit in, ha,ha! Have a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable! Love your garden too!
ReplyDeleteYour Chloe is a pretty one. It's hot here to. I am thinking that I am glad that I didn't plant much this year. Have a good time on vacation. Safe travels.

ReplyDeleteGretchen...she is sooo cute...don't you just love little helpers?!!....Love the color of the day lilies and the zinnias..I do not think I have ever seen any that tall...What do you feed them?...They look wonderful! Have a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm jealous you are going on vacation...do have a wonderful time! Chloe is a doll. Honestly I was surprised you had a granddaughter. You don't look old enough! Thanks for that extra click too. :o)
ReplyDeleteGretchen~ Chloe is just the cutest little thing. She looks like a little fairy herself- like a puff of wind could flutter her from place to another...there is just a sweet innocence about her that shows up in the photos. Love all your gardens and I you should see MY dead leaves, etc. NOT good~ xo Diana

ReplyDeleteHi Gretchen!
ReplyDeleteYour little Chloe is just a doll! It was pure joy getting to meet you at Haven. I too felt a bit starstruck meeting everyone. You see someone everyday on your blog and meeting them in real life kinda blows you away. Everyone was so shocked to see how short I was LOL. Hope to see you again next year and this time we will have to do lunch!
I love summer with a little girl that you love! What a sweetie. love those lilies too! They are a wonderful color!
ReplyDeleteChloe is a real cutie patootie! I love the color of your daylilies. Mine are all yellow or orange! And you have GIANT zinnias, and they are just gorgeous. I hope you have a wonderful time on your vacation and stay cool!
ReplyDeleteChloe is a sweetheart! And I love zinnias! Such an old fashioned flower that makes me think of my mom. Great for bouquets, too. Hope you're having a fun vacation!
ReplyDeleteCheers!,
Barbara
