boat ride! \u00a0so far the pontoon boat has been running great; i think this is the first year since we’ve had it that it has managed to keep running this long into the summer. \u00a0hmm, better not jinx it. \u00a0the water was really high in june, and the yuccas were in bloom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

these flower shoots are called crocosmia. \u00a0i guess they have them here in the US, but i had never noticed them until we went to ireland. i planted lots of bulbs, and some of them are slowing coming up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i planted them all in places where i’d dug up my lilies which got eaten by deer every year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i liked them so much when i first saw them at the\u00a0Powerscourt Gardens<\/a>\u00a0in Ireland that i took a picture of the sign, so i’d remember them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

this is what they look like in bloom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

anne wareham also had lots of them in her spectacular\u00a0Veddw House Garden<\/a>\u00a0in Wales.<\/p>\n

wow, i hope we get to go back there sometime soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

so it’s only taken me two years to finally plant some. \u00a0not bad, for me. \u00a0plus they’re supposedly deer-resistant, so theoretically i won’t have to dig them all up in a year or two.<\/p>\n

here are a few shots of the moon, which has been looking spectacular again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

it was unusual to see a white pelican; i only remember seeing them on the lake in winter. \u00a0maybe this one realized that our lake is so packed full of fish that he decided to make it his permanent residence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

randy bought these wonderful solar lights which clip on the edges of his umbrella. \u00a0i’m tempted to buy some, except they’re kind of pricey at pier one, plus i’m pretty sure they’d somehow get broken on our deck. \u00a0as things do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

right now as i sit here on my couch it’s 92 outside but feels like 107. \u00a0yeah, kinda ridiculously hot & humid. \u00a0welcome to july.<\/p>\n

ok then,<\/p>\n

mrs. summertime hughes.<\/p>\n
