This summer has brought intense heat in the 90’s for the month of July. We are in a heat wave!! I like the summer but not this much heat! My idea of a perfect summer is days in the 80’s and occasionally a 90-degree day. I guess I would feel differently if I had a pool to cool off.
While I do not enjoy this much heat my flowers are loving it, if we water them often and feed them a little Miracle-Gro. Check out all these photos of flowers on my deck and around the yard.
Above notice the Rose of Sharon blossoms are coming out earlier than usual with all this heat. Three bushes out of a multitude of bushes we have (lost count now) are already blooming. Many more will be starting soon. They are so gorgeous. Of course I will share many photos with you soon.
When we went away for our 15-day cruise we had a neighbor water our plants. Due to the excessive heat he could not keep up with watering them enough and two died with two others hanging in there. These two other plants are coming back – one better than the other one though. I guess we can’t go away too long if there is extreme heat. I noted the one plant that is coming back above with a before and after photo as it is blooming again but without the yellow blossoms. I guess they died off and didn’t come back.
I hope these flowers will brighten your day. They have done that for me just looking at them. Check out my hydrangea bush. This year I finally have many blossoms, though they are quite small. Last year the deer ate all of the blossoms. So far they haven’t touched this one. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
I took a closeup making it more impressive, don’t you think? I love these flowers. Unfortunately the deer do too! Haha! I am always taking lots of photos of my flowers in case this happens again just to remember them.
This summer is a perfect time to cuddle up with a good book. I hope you will find a cool place to read and relax. I plan to do just that myself. Happy Reading! Please check out all my books to the right of this post in case you need a new book.
Thank you so much for stopping by to read this post and for your continued support! Come back again soon!
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!

We’ve been ‘enjoying’ days of 90s for more than a month now – nonstop. I’m already looking forward to fall! All our pansies are dead!
🥲
I find the heat to be very difficult…..and so am glad to be experiencing a very cool english summer. Your flowers are beautiful 🙂
Ahhh, yes! Thank you. I look forward to fall. The weather on our cruise to Europe was in the 50’s & 60’s. Very cool and comfortable. 🥰
