Assorted August

Lately the smoke in our neck of the woods is a bit too much for me to golf.  For the last two days I have opted to just stay home and catch up on things.  I started with watering the front yard plants (I had to wear my mask).  Then I went to my neighbor to water their plants, pick some tomatoes, basil and a few hydrangeas.  Now I am tired.  This is a good time to do my blog while resting.  Actually if this gets posted today I am actually a couple of days early.  So exactly what does assorted means.  It will be a mixed up of photos from the past month.  There's be flowers, foods, scenery and maybe even some surprises.  I hope you are still enjoying reading my blog and now you only have to check it once a month.  Thank you for stopping by. 

I just love the way the flowers bloomed in a perfect row.

I just remembered we have not made this in ages.

My very first Chocolate Almond Braid (very easy dessert)

The first year these flowers bloomed since we moved in.

My very first hosta plant but the other one is dying.

Last year I only had one bloom, this year I have two.

Even with the heat, this plant never bloomed in 4 years.

Another very easy cake to make and very pretty.

This is the view from our living room window almost everyday.

This was the view along the highway from Vernon to YLW (July 6).
