June is busting out all over!

Blossoms everywhere from  trees to shrubs to  vines......




 
Fringe Tree blooms
June  has so far been an unusual month weather wise....May dry,  mild and sunny..June  cool and rainy.Not complaining about the rain , we need it.
 Some of the highlights in the garden this week are:
Clematis  in full blossom.........

Walkway  arbour
Love the frilly center.
 Lincoln Star;
yes there was the odd day with sunshine

Elsa Spath
These 3  clematis climb the arbour making a great show.
 
Milky Way Dogwood
 
Black Elderberry , Black Lace
With all the moisture this  spring   an abundance of blossoms  , the size  of  leaves and blossoms are huge....... example  Ryan's Big Blue Hosta.


Northern Exposure  Hosta is the green and yellow leaf.
Tho hard to tell the  Blue Hosta leaves are   10 inches long and about  6 to 7 inches wide......
This planter I am very happy with only 3 plants, red, yellow and purple million bells  quickly filled the  container.


The end of this week   is promising to be bright sunshine so hopefully the roses will  be flowering soon.....

Village Babes by the Bay

Thursday was  Red Hats Day...Off we went to Savanna's Tea Room  part of
 Victorian Elegance shoppe. This little shop is packed with  lovely  items ladies love from clothes to jewellery to shoes! Even has a Christmas section.
Welcome sign!
Temperatures were in the 30's C.The 3 H's!
We  dined on   the outdoor deck set among the tree tops. Shaded with white muslin.

Trying to decide  what to have for lunch..
 A cool refreshing  glade like  spot..with  a small creek  babbling below... refreshing breeze...
We had a leisurely lunch , most dined on   sandwiches made with   home made bread from Spicers Bakery
a well renown  bake shop..in Aylmer On.
Fun day!
