Summer

 I got my deck cushions out today. The fabric is so worn out, I had been noodling on sewing new covers, but thought it would be a big job, and a lot of fabric. Then I found some inexpensive covers on Amazon. They are great. I just need more elastic tighteners, on the back, to sinch them up a bit. I'm so pleased. I tried a new cushion, before I found the covers, but it wasn't firm enough and so spendy, and not quite the right size or shape.  

This is the best solution, by far. 

Barley got to be in her catio for awhile. She loves it. It feels good to sit outside.

I'm looking forward to more deck days with Barley.

I got my Verbena planted today. I should have had a couple more plants, I'll have to get back to the greenhouse.

My Lily of the Valley is very pretty. I wish I could smell it.

Also, a good year for my yellow Peony, McPherson's Best.

I think I  counted 15 buds.
