Short on Words...

{Wisteria on the cornzebo}

...so I've been of late.
Other than identifying descriptions, this post will, likewise, be short on words...but long on photos.
Some photos are over a month old - my apologies. It seems this summer came and went without telling me it was even here.

{Butterfly on hydrangea}



{More hibiscus}

{More million bells and more foxglove}

This past week I was also in charge of keeping the "hooker-down-the-lane"'s garden alive.

The trust of some people.

{A second glimpse 😉)

So pretty it hurts.

There you have it. 
The 'happier' side of my past month (or so).

I'll be back when I find my words.
