It dumped a bunch of snow on the night of March 9th/10th, and although it all melted fairly quickly, when I first looked out the window on the morning of the 10th, there was quite a bit of snow piled up on the tree branches!

My apologies for this late post. I meant to put this up on Friday, but we were having some technical difficulties with the website.
Lately, especially while mowing, I've been noticing the variety of mushrooms growing all over the place. So last I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time believing that summer is almost over already. To me, this year has seemed to fly by and it seems crazy that Sunday is the first day of September!
Late summer/early fall is one of my favourite times of year. I love everything about this time - specifically the I've got two pictures before the storm ones. On August 18th, there were at least two yellow warblers hanging out in the caragana bushes.
I just have a whole bunch of close-ups of flowers that we planted that are blooming right now. All of these pictures were taken between July 29th and August 9th, so enjoy!
Aside from the first picture (July 20th) and the second picture (July 22nd), all of these photos were taken in our garden on the 24th.
So first, here's a picture of our crazy cats. It was probably 30°C or higher that day, and they were both sleeping on July is one of my favourite months of the year. It's partly because that's when my poppies start blooming. It's partly because that's when the garden starts really producing.
And that's part of what I'm going to share somewhere in this post. The first small yields from the garden; blessings Some of my poppies have opened now, and with perfect timing, because they're blooming just as my other favourite flowers - wild roses - are going out of season and dying. Actually, I think the wild roses bloomed for far longer this year than any other year I can remember, but I love them, so it was nice to have them for extra time this year!
I have a lot of wild rose pictures again, and a number of lilac pictures as well, but I do have some other variety thrown in, so don't worry!
Sunset on June 15th: I have more pictures than just of those three listed things, but a lot of them are of flowers and bees, and I thought the baby birds might end up being the highlight of this post 🤗
