It was an ordeal for me, my spouse, and my sister in law but now we are almost (I hope) ready to cross the finish line. The move was yesterday. She comes up with my sister in law later today.
Now, I can finally enjoy my home garden, just in time for a heat wave.
In my garden in upstate New York, in zone 5b, I know we aren't that far from fall. I haven't been to my garden in weeks, and will try to get there today. Hoping the sunflowers are in bloom. (If they are, maybe I'll take pictures for tomorrow.)
One of my petunias.
A container of three geraniums. I love the leaves of the yellow leafed variety. Needless to say, I've forgotten the variety name.

Nice blooms. I'm envious of the phlox. Mine has stopped blooming in our recent heat, but I'm hoping it will be back in the fall.
ReplyDeleteOh, I even forgot I had garlic chives blooming till I saw your photo. We got black clouds, lots of thunder and NOT ONE drop of rain. I'll have to water later tonight as everything is getting pretty dry in the heat.
ReplyDeleteWe moved my mother twice in two years, to sheltered accommodation and then to a care home, it's hard and emotional work. Especially when not all of the treasured possessions will fit into the new place. Enjoy your garden, you deserve the rest!
ReplyDeleteI did not know about Bloom Day. Your flowers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. I can't even grow weeds!
ReplyDeleteNice blooms. Stay cool.
ReplyDeleteWe moved my parents from Syracuse nearer to us in the beginning of 2014. Just in the nick of time, as my dad's dementia got progressively worse. Even though your situation is not the same, I can understand from my own experience how much you have sacrificed to take care of family. I hope the new situation makes it easier to care for your loved ones--and for yourself.
