Photos taken from June 12 to 18.

A beautiful, rainy morning.

I love summer rain.

Summer sunshine is just as nice ~ especially when it highlights our flowers.

Yarrow

We even have a garden this year – one tomato plant. 🙂

It is looking healthy and is starting to bloom.

Our mint tea bed died last summer ~ totally ~ every tea stalk ~ and I had lots.

We thought maybe it was the mulch we used, but are not sure what happened.

I replanted ~ thanks to a few roots from our daughter Deb and our friend Angie – plus I bought a few.

Each plant is looking healthy.

 Our mulberry trees will soon be feeding the neighborhood birds.

We will eat a few, but let the birds have most of them.

Daylilies are in full bloom and so pretty.

There is an unusual and rather pretty fungus at the bottom of one of our trees.

There are two of them.

Our Shasta daises will soon be in full bloom.

A mourning dove in the afternoon sunshine ~ on our patio table.

Begonia

The combination of rain and sunshine is producing pretty flowers in our yard.

Miniature rose

Geranium

A day after the first Shasta daisy photo I found a few open blooms.

We will have hundreds of blooms in the next few days.

I do enjoy beautiful sunny ~ or rainy ~ summer days.
