We're a little behind in our blog posts. Papa has been traveling for work. "Do yoU know how hard it iz to blog when your seKretary is traveling?" asks Ben with a little grumble.
Anyway, first our mail update. We received surprises from our pal Ajdin. We won his bee magnet arts and crafts giveaway back in May. "BEEEEZZZZ!!" says Jerry!
There was a great bee magnet and some delicious instant apple cider (already gone). The magnet looks so great on our fridge. We also got a great postcard from our friend Hammie who was again traveling in beautiful Brittany. Papa went to school for a little while in Brittany, "Yeah, bak in the Middul Ages" jokes Jerry.
We received another postcard from Ajdin, this time from Washington D.C.
Looks like he had a wonderful trip. Thank you Ajdin and Hammie!
"Next," says Ben "a gardun reeport from Jerry...take it away Jerry!"
"Thank yoU Ben." replies Jerry. "Owr garden iz lookeeng beary good. We've had a LOT of rain so the plants aR lookeeng happee. The zookeenknee haz LOTZ of blossoms."
"Kan yoU see me hideeng in the zookeeknee?" asks Jerry.
Jerry and Ben have also been helping in the flowers beds. Here are a few photos of some of the flowers that grow in our back yard. We hope that you enjoy them.
How is your garden doing? If you don't have a garden, are you growing a few plants or herbs in pots?









It is all looking great guys! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Granny K. We still have a way to go to make our garden look like one of those amazing English estate gardens!
DeleteOur garden is coming along. Our Basil is doing great (yipee) and our lettuce is coming along slowly but surely. The wild flower seeds still look like weeds but we do have a flower - I am keeping my paws crossed for lots of wild flowers this year.
ReplyDeleteBasil! Yummy! We don't have any wild flowers, unless they snuck in on their own.We do have some fox glove though!
DeleteI am so glad to hear you have fox glove, I am partial to that plant. Any bear grass?
DeleteBasil is one of my favorite herbs, my roomates have a secret location where they get their basil; I followed them once and found out they were getting it at Trader Joe's.....not the most secret location in the world.
PS - Jerry you blend in well to the garden...beary sneaky.
I am glad the magnet got there. The flowers look beary beautiful... did you see any bees in your garden?
ReplyDeleteWe did see some bees today! Jerry was beary excited to see them. Maybe the bee magnet you sent will help to attract some great beez!
DeleteHave you received anything from us in the mail??? Sent to the Sioux Falls address??
ReplyDeleteWe haven't yet...we move to our summer address at the end of May, but our mail is forwarded to us...although Ben grumbles that the forwarding does sometimes take a while!
DeleteThe garden looks amazing!! Your squash are much further along than ours - but our irises are already done. Beary confusing! That purple cluster flower looks beary interesting - do you know what it is?
ReplyDeleteIt is heliotrope. The little purple flowers are nice and the dark green leaves give texture to the garden. How are your veggies coming along?
DeleteAh. Maybe the mail is in the mail still...... hope so!!
ReplyDeleteWe'll let you know if it arrives! We'll cross our paws!
DeleteAchille a reconnu tout plein de fleurs : la fleur blanche, la fleur violette, la fleur bleue... :-)
ReplyDeletebisous les Nours !!!
