AUGUST SIGHTS IN THE BACKYARD

 The patio invites us out for morning coffee, luncheon, wine time, dinner or just to relax when the weather isn't too hot. 

 The porcelain vine has finally made it to the top of the enclosure. 

 Pole beans have covered the support and we're enjoying the "fruits" of our labors.

 Morning glories are taking over the north garden fence and have completely hidden the trellis. 

 "Sally Holmes" rose is doing her best to convince me that I did the right thing by ordering her from Jackson Perkins and having her shipped all the way from South-by-God Carolina this spring. 

And here we have "easy money" Izzy lounging on the patio glider. One of many good spots for a cat! Ah, the lazy daze of summer!
