Our weather is abnormally cold - I've resorted to a hot water bottle while Husband's been away! - but amazingly things are growing in my garden.

It's too bad the guests didn't get to see how hard you've worked to make the gardens so beautiful. <br /><br />This has been an unusually hot spring, even for Florida, and very dry here for it being the start of rainy season.

Your blooms are so pretty my friend. Guess what, my lilies are all out of order too. What is up with that? I think the weather. Moonlit Masquerade is one of my all-time favorites.

I kept thinking about you and wondering how it was all going.<br /><br />The marquee photo looks so pretty and colourful!<br /><br />I know I could not survive in the humidity there, it would just take my breath away, literally! I see that not only are we both procrastinators but also we are both non morning people! I smiled at the thought of you gardening in your PJs :) and admire you for forcing yourself to rise early and make the most of the cooler hours.<br /><br />Your blooms and photos are lovely as always. My Nelly Moser performed beautifully this year again too.<br /><br />Enjoy the relative peace and quiet Rose and congratulate yourself on a very successful celebration!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-17433836531603688542011-06-13T07:27:10.348-05:002011-06-13T07:27:10.348-05:00Janet, Congratulations on your daughter's enga...Janet, Congratulations on your daughter's engagement! The outdoor reception was nice and what my daughter and son-in-law wanted, but an indoor one at a hotel would have been much easier:)<br /><br />Sue, I got a late start planting veggies, so my spinach and lettuce may not do well at all--I haven't even picked any yet. The temps really cooled down this weekend--I love it!<br /><br />Laurrie, Thank you; I felt a bit let down when all was over after so much planning, but then again it's nice to not have so much on my to-do list for awhile.<br /><br />Lisa, The weather right now is wonderful! I even had to put on a jacket last night while working in the garden for a bit, but I'm not complaining. Relaxing is at the top of my to-do list:)<br /><br />Racquel, Last week was downright miserable. I'm looking forward to temps in the 70's this week.<br /><br />Wendy, Good to hear from you! I've been wondering how you were doing--how is the move coming along?<br /><br />Tina, Big events like this get me motivated to finally accomplish some long-overdue projects. But I'm glad to finally have a short to-do list now:)<br /><br />Cheryl, My biggest worry was that we'd have a storm and I'd have to fit everyone in my basement! But even with a little rain late in the evening, all went well. The heat this past week, though, has been much worse than when you were here in September. Yarrow likes it here--it pops up everywhere in my garden.<br /><br />Maggie, This was a banner year for the clematis; I need to add more to my garden. Yes, I'm breathing much easier these days:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-1147867129610927662011-06-13T04:47:29.564-05:002011-06-13T04:47:29.564-05:00Glad the reception went well.

I thought of you all and prayed the weather would be kind to you. Such a lot of planning goes into these things....well done Rose.<br />I now understand the heat of Illinois, after my visit last year. I had to smile when you said about running make up and plastered hair.....a similar look to mine when I visited....Ha!!<br /><br />Due to the odd weather here, my garden is all over the place. I do not understand what is going on at the moment as everything seems muddled. Some plants are way ahead of their time and others are well behind. Odd.<br /><br />Clematis are wonderful plants. I have around ten in my garden and they all give so freely.<br />They are wonderful for growing through old trees.....<br />Nelly Moser is lovely.....<br /><br />Yarrow....if only. I really love this plant, I love the flat blooms. Sadly it does not like my wet soil, so I have given up on her. Perhaps one day I will try again.<br /><br /><br />Have a restful week Rose. Feel a little concerned about you.....do take care.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-83058814340180356582011-06-12T18:16:42.488-05:002011-06-12T18:16:42.488-05:00I bet it is so nice to get back to normal indeed. ...I bet it is so nice to get back to normal indeed.

The stress must have been intense. Your garden is lovely, as usual. June here has been hot too, but today it rained and it is much cooler.<br /><br />I love that tropical theme! Glad it's all over. I've been away from blogging for a bit.

What wacky weather we've had! I though the lettuce was finished, what with the 90s we were having. It even got up to 100 a time or two. Now, we've had a cool down with some rain, and the lettuce has been doing better, but some of it had already begun to bloom, and they are going to go ahead and send up those flower stalks unless I get them pulled. The green beans in one area, and summer squash in another are coming up, so I am harvesting the lettuce closest to those.<br /><br />I can't remember when certain flowers bloom in relation to others, but a few days ago, I looked back at my June posts from last year, and saw that some of the flowers are earlier and others later than last year. Some are about the same, though. Well, it's 2:15 p.m. and 73 degrees. I better get back outside now that I'm finished eating some watermelon.<br /><br />I hope your temps are cooler too.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-13868754310332258202011-06-12T14:08:39.515-05:002011-06-12T14:08:39.515-05:00Love the setup for the reception.
