August Garden...



"In summer, 
the song sings itself."

-  William Carlos Williams


In August even though the heat and humidity are oppressive, nature brings beauty and smiles...

















Whites are my favorites for summer nights... they reflect the moonlight!



The lavender and pink crepe myrtles defy the heat of summer. The pink hydrangeas are drying on the bush to a mellow green. Zinnias and dianthus showing their colors!


Not sure who enjoys the zinnias more.. the butterflies or me! Loving the lavenders and purples in this year's garden!


My bell pepper and tomatoes are hanging on.. I may have enough for another round of homemade pepper jelly and fresh salsa!



Joining Judith over at Lavender Cottage for Mosaic Monday and Sue over at image-in-ing. Hope you will visit... there's an opportunity to meet new friends, view some interesting photos and learn about folks from all over the world.

Hope you have a week filled with lots of smiles and good things..Susan

  4. We've had a couple of weeks of heat and humidity this summer in Ontario but for the most part, perfect summer weather. Love to see flowers and butterflies. I have an all white moon garden and it is pretty when the white flowers glow in the moonlight.
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Susan.

  8. Who doesn't love zinnias and butterflies. I didn't plant any zinnias this year, makes me sad now. I come to from Mosaic Monday and I am glad that I stopped by to see your beautiful flowers. It is hot here, too, but very little humidity. Hot and dry.

  10. What an exquisite collage, Susan! I so enjoyed visiting the hot hues of this sizzling season, and on a cold, damp and dreary Toronto day like today, it was very soothing! Thanks for sharing.

    Merry Christmas, to you and yours!

  12. Thank you for this wonderful post, I want to use this opportunity to share about My life how I strunggled with Hiv/Aids Disease before the Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house. Dr. Itua can also cure the following diseases, HIV, Herpes, Neuromuscular Diseases , Hepatitis B, Inflammatory Liver, Diabetes,Inflammatory bowel disease ,Fibromyalgia, recover your ex. You can contact him by email or drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com, ..www.drituaherbalcenter.com .. He is a good doctor, talk to him kindly. I'm sure he will also listen to you.
