So as promised the zinnias have bloomed, and despite this brutal heat have continued to spring up. I think one of my very favorite things about this flower is that each one is truly individual. Different colors and variations, each one's a little piece of eye candy.
And here's a few of the other lovely blooms popping up to say hello...
I finally have my own scabiosa's in the garden. They're some of my favorites!
And as always some cute nuggets, just because...

So I always complain to my husband about people who don't update their blogs, saying things like "why even have a blog", and "how hard is it to just update once a week?". However low and behold, look who I've turned into, the once a month poster. My apologies friends. The good news, it's all due to being incredibly busy with tons of projects, and it's just plain silly not share them here, right?
I'll ease into things with some shots from around the house and in the garden that I took last week. I really, really love my camera (a Canon Rebel T1i), and often forget how much I like taking pictures just for fun until I get around to snapping some shots. I'm by no means a photographer, but with the image quality this thing produces it's hard not to "get into it".
Rose bush in our back yard, and no I didn't alter the colors, they really are just that bright and lovely.
The first zinnia buds of the year. I grew them from seeds and there's going to be a million of them. I'll share more pics once they start blooming.
The day lilies are O.O.C. this year, some are almost 5 feet tall.
Matt arriving home from work, and the also gigantic rudbeckia growing next to the garage.
Red asiatic lilies and coneflower buds.
And some gratuitous dog pictures, just because I can't help myself...
Thanks for touring my garden. What are you growing at your house/apartment this year?
love, emmy-ray
