Flower Gardens.

And now it is time for a cup of tea.  I went out early this morning to finally get the last of the gardening done.  I was making a new bed near the front of the house where the plants can be seen from the windows on that side or from the deck.  I planted all new perennials  and will add the spring bulbs later.  There is already a large iris which is the background and a few other plants. I would like the finished bed to look like an English garden.

I still have to unpack my garden gnomes (yes, I know it is the middle of July!) and put them in place.  I like to have a lot of hidden treasures scattered here and there.  I have a steepled church in the new bed and will add some gnomes as well.  I finally have the large ceramic sheepdog with the geraniums.  

I could use my eye operations as an excuse for being behind but, really, it is because there is always something else to do-mostly quilting  or writing.

I tried to take a photo of the garden but the sun was too bright.  Will try again  later in the day.  Speaking of photos, my camera battery isn't holding its charge.  I bought a new battery but the same thing happens.  Do cameras wear out?  I have a non digital which is at least 40 years old.  I bought the Canon around ten years ago.  Anybody else have this problem and found a solution?
