I'm in the garden at the crack of dawn. I'm always eager to see what is new for the day.  If anything major has to be done it must be accomplished before 9:oo a.m. while the temperature is pleasant.

Back inside for toasted French bread with blackberry preserves, maple flavored sausage/Jimmy Dean, and scrambled eggs served with a cold glass of milk and finished with a nice cup of coffee.  Did I mention hubby cooks? Life is good.

High in the trees above our deck, the Summer Tanager sings his melodious song all day long as he, seemingly on guard, waits for young to hatch.

Summer Tanager

Several days ago I spotted a red bird on the deck railing sunbathing. I rushed to get hubby to see, but he could not be found. When I returned, I realized it was a Summer Tanager. I hope to get a better photo soon.  I recognize his song which helps locate him.

Hemerocallis 'Charles Johnston'

Siloam Double Classic

doesn't double until later in the season.

Red Daylily

In the beginning I thought there were two colors of daylilies..orange and yellow. 

There are thousands of varieties. This one has a velvety sheen.

Big Leaf Ligularia

I'm giving this plant one more year to get big and bushy or else I'll move it. They look good with hostas. There is a spotted one also.

Clematis 'Blue Light'

as you can see, is double.
