Kym is fond of saying that flowers are magical and I couldn’t agree more. Yesterday she pronounced that foliage is cool, too, and I’m on board with that sentiment, too! To prove my point, this is a photo of 3 containers on my deck with foliage. Okay, the creeping jenny has little yellow flowers for a brief time but mostly that’s all foliage. The one in the upper left is called Kong Rose and the one in the forefront is Spiced Curry. There are so many varieties of coleus and I love the different colors as well as the different leaf sizes and shapes!

That’s a wrap on this week – have a great weekend!

Here’s a photo of a sunset from our week in Maine. I did get up at oh-dark-thirty one morning and catch the sunrise but mostly we saw sunsets!

Hope you see beautiful sun this weekend! Rising, setting, and everything in between!

I’m all about the foliage this year and this Kong Coleus is a great variety providing vibrant color on our deck.

And, as much as I love our deck, I won’t be seeing it for the next week because we are headed to Maine on vacation! If you can’t wait for me to come back to this space you can always follow me on Instagram to keep up with our adventures. Take care of yourselves and I’ll see you on July 2nd.

The lavender is just gorgeous right now and it smells just heavenly. I have a big container of it right next to where I sit on the deck and I love reaching over and running my fingers over the blossoms and picking up that lovely scent.

Speaking of lovely . . . have a lovely weekend!

Ahhhhhh. The wood stove as I prefer it . . . not running and with a bouquet of flowers on top. It must be summer!

Have a great weekend, my friends!
