Summer Flowers

On the weekend I spent a few hours getting all the artwork off the walls, in preparation for the house painters.  It was tiring work, I didn't realize I had so much stuff on the walls, accumulated over the years.  They said I could put some tape on the holes I want to keep and they will fill everything else.

It is a good time to declutter, so I took piles of old magazines to the recyle depot as well.  Looking at the dates of the magazines, it had been about 3 years since my last declutter.  I gave some of the more recent ones to a friend.

Then we got around to moving the big furniture pieces away from the walls...I feel so disoriented, it is unsettling!  Well, husband M misplaced his keys in the middle of it all.  Then he located them, whew!  We still have to do the upstairs!

And one of our cars is giving trouble, something is draining the battery mysteriously. It may be the bluetooth connection. It is a 7 year old car.

I've been snapping pretty flowers around the neighbourhood for you:

Summer Flowers

It's a public holiday today, Canada Day!  Welcome to the month of July.

I was reading a magazine yesterday that said some plastic wrap is made of PVC and should be avoided where possible.  There is a safer kind made out of polyethelene.  I found more details here.

Here are some summer flowers to brighten your day!

Summer Flowers

Here's a short, happy BBC video for you to watch called 'what a wonderful world with David Attenborough'.

My friend S had given me these flowers to plant in the spring.  M had mowed them over by mistake but they are very hardy. They have bloomed and look like yellow coneflowers, quite pretty. She says they grow very tall although she was never sure what they were. Well, that's what I think they are regardless if they grow very tall. What do you think, any ideas?  I've just noticed they need to be supported or else they fall over. 




I stopped to smell these pretty roses on one of my walks.



I've always liked these flowers, cosmos.
