Great job your grands did with swimming. Can't wait til you get your new glasses; I've put off mine due to buying a new a/c. When I get them though, I'll be without my glasses for a bit-oh no.<br />We are having 7 granddaughters over night tonight-so much fun.<br />Have a great Thursday.<br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-61410894300942806762015-07-15T09:59:21.006-05:002015-07-15T09:59:21.006-05:00I don't have a garden, but a good friend of mi...I don't have a garden, but a good friend of mine does...and he is a gardener for a living, and he has been plagued with these Japanese beetles who love to feast on leaves and other things. Here in Montreal, Canada, we have had more heat and humidity than rain, but the high heat and humidity have killed/dried up the lilacs on a tree near where I live. Your photos are lovely and it is sad that you are struggling due to the rain. You have a very nice blog.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-45694081083235313072015-07-14T14:40:26.541-05:002015-07-14T14:40:26.541-05:00Rain has made our garden challenging this year as ...Rain has made our garden challenging this year as well. Even keeping up with the lawn mowing has been tough. Our hydrangea's didn't do so well this year, I think we got a late frost and it killed some of the buds. We only have a handful of flowers from the two bushes we have. Interesting summer for sureMaryannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147215921425305908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-3065059754798764482015-07-14T09:15:34.963-05:002015-07-14T09:15:34.963-05:00You have too much rain, and we have not enough!

But at last some rain has come through the Pacific NW and into Alberta, so some of the forest fires will be under better control.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079854415508985725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-34679035534623060692015-07-11T20:06:49.004-05:002015-07-11T20:06:49.004-05:00It's been a crazy weather Spring.

Our hydrangeas have been the prettiest ever, too.

We're now in the middle of a heat wave!<br />Hope you get your glasses straightened out soon, especially before your trip.

I've never heard that but my Daddy has MD and I pray I can escape it. I take the ARED eye vitamins and have for many years.

The rabbit ate my few swiss chard and the cucumbers laughed at me and died! Too hot down here for me. At least I know I can grow lettuce in containers and my son can grow peppers from real pepper seeds! He is keeping me in peppers for another month!Deb Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206921657695916898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-5925438024745837502015-07-10T14:41:28.146-05:002015-07-10T14:41:28.146-05:00I hope the new lenses work better for you.

I am ok with that at least the weeds won't grow. Hopefully the peppers will start producing so we have a big fall crop to freeze.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-82393265124415542212015-07-10T12:32:29.466-05:002015-07-10T12:32:29.466-05:00my garden while it looks ok hasn't really been...my garden while it looks ok hasn't really been producing all that much - your green beans are much better than mine - I already tore half of them out and have so far only gotten about 2 quarts. the cucumbers are being slow but still look good and I have gotten about 5 out of it so far with a lot of little ones going.<br />Good luck with the glasses hope you get it all straightened out before your trip.Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.com
