I can sense how much you love spending time outdoors, Melanie, and now that your patio is all prettied up it is perfect for al fresco dining, and chilling, indeed. I bought 4 Daisy Fleabane this spring. They bloomed for about two weeks and then I needed to deadhead them. I've been waiting for them to bloom a second time, since they look like they're growing new buds. Any idea how to properly deadhead them? Zippo is quite the cutie!<br /><br />Have a great week,<br />xx<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-73046024536456595592017-06-14T02:17:34.897-07:002017-06-14T02:17:34.897-07:00Looks like the weeds in Illinois are a lot prettie...Looks like the weeds in Illinois are a lot prettier than ours here in the northeast! <br /><br />I picked up two columbine last year and they seem to be doing well.

At 18 Zippo is still going strong and that's amazing! <br /><br />xxxDoreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-3497998565403637302017-06-11T20:17:12.945-07:002017-06-11T20:17:12.945-07:00I adore your gardens, to me they are what a garden...I adore your gardens, to me they are what a garden should be.

Surely, in your comfy house, there are much cozier places to snooze than the hard kitchen counter. :) We are no longer sitting outside around here. Even at 8 o'clock at night, it's 100 degrees. Ugh! All my plants are so hot and dusty. Enjoy your garden time.

As someone who ...What a delightful post, Melanie. <br />As someone who has never owned a kitty cat I am marveling at that cat tree. How cute and cozy looking. I would never guess that your Zippo is 18. He looks great for his age.<br />Your columbine is really pretty and so healthy looking too.<br />Love your patio space. It looks so private and inviting. <br />I'm amazed at your temperatures. We have been cooler than normal so far this year, but I'm not complaining.<br />I so appreciate the kind comments you have left on my blog. In case you didn't see, I provided the link to the chocolate mint cookies in my comments.<br />Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-75796652937358687682017-06-06T12:56:52.115-07:002017-06-06T12:56:52.115-07:00Oh that is funny that Zippo fell asleep on the cou...Oh that is funny that Zippo fell asleep on the counter. Love your kitties. Annie is snoozing somewhere right now, she likes a dark closet during the day especially if I'm working around the house. Do not disturb is her motto! I've got more things to purge but the rainy weather has me slowing down a bit. Still I should enjoy it and hope we don't have a drought later this summer. Your yard is looking lovely.

It's definitely Daisy Fleabane - which is in the aster family. And it's an Illinois wildflower, often dismissed as a weed.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-3682375461571807802017-06-06T10:15:48.960-07:002017-06-06T10:15:48.960-07:00Oh, a cat nap would be wonderful right now. Summer...Oh, a cat nap would be wonderful right now. Summer is already kicking my butt. It's very hot here already, sadly. I loved seeing your flowers. Columbine is beautiful and very unusual-looking, isn't it? I always enjoy seeing it when I'm in Colorado, where it grows really prolifically. I don't think we have much here in NM, even at higher altitudes, it's just too hot. I think your little self-seeded flowers might be asters. I have them too, and someone said they were a kind of aster. I never pull them, even though they're tecnhically a weed. They're just too pretty and I love the way they can grow right out of rocks or pavement. I have them in the strips between paving stones on my front walk. I hope you're having a good week so far!Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-56328808752522340862017-06-06T10:09:19.246-07:002017-06-06T10:09:19.246-07:00Enjoy the weather, and have a good week.
