The past few weeks have been crazy busy!
And hot, hot, hot! And Very little rain!
I haven’t been able to manage any journal writing or milestone posting here on Folia, or to spend any amount of time here really. I have missed you all! – missed the lively group discussion and perusing the journals and enjoying the lovely photos.
I did manage to take photos of my plants and gardens and save them in dated files.
Today is a free day – errands are done, chores are done, husband is out for the day. It’s too hot to do any work outside. So…This morning I spent about three hours sorting through and editing the photos and I think I’m ready to do some catching up. There probably won’t be much text, but there will be lots of photos.
I’ll start with this journal today for bloom day and work backwards until I’m caught up. I think there will be a few! Sorry for the onslaught.
I’ll start with the Bloom Day honoree in my garden for July – since I have to pick one it will be one of the plants in my winter-sowing garden that has managed to bloom despite being confined to that red plastic bucket and not getting enough water on these sweltering days. This is Viper’s Bugloss ‘White Bedder.’ Very pretty! Once the temps cool down a bit in a few weeks, she and many of her fellow WS plants will be transplanted to some lovely garden spots. For now, here she is…
And then there are the rest of the bloomers this week!

Sooo many blooms for you to document! That, in and of itself, would keep anyone busy! Lovely blooms and gardens.
