Happy mid-summer from Wisconsin!  Now that we have an additional year in our new space, we’re starting to transform our yard with a variety of new plants as I’ve noted earlier.  It’s a slow, albeit rewarding, process for sure; there’s only so much we can do in a day/week/month, particularly when life and weather can intervene.  The pace also allows for some thoughtful reflection:  I know I’ve re-imagined our layout plan numerous times, but it will gradually fall into place.

We’ve been marveling at all the new flowers- some in the garden and some in the yard, and I wanted to share some Wisconsin summer with you wherever you are…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Runner beans on a tomato cage- something has been snacking on them, unfortunately…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More from the garden- radish flowers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some Tristan strawberries-to-be (doing exuberantly well in a pot)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Milkweed (We have been pleased to see more butterflies than Monarchs in our yard, as well!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A prickly pear cactus flower (I somewhat recently found out that prickly pear cacti are native to Wisconsin!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Non-floral color- a Wisconsin sunset.  Good night to all!
