| Love this philosophy! | 
The latest addition to my garden is this delightful little birdhouse, a gift from my  neighbor's two children. I noticed a bird sitting on the roof a few days ago, but so far no one has moved in. We may have put it up a little late for nest building, but we're all keeping an eye on it - just in case!
The mountain laurel is full of buds. As soon as we get some sun, I expect them to burst open.

| Sure enough - The buds opened up with a few days of sunshine! | 
June is a great month for a wide variety of flowers to be in bloom. Some open early, while others wait until mid-June.

| Baptisia | 
|  | 
| Clematis vine | 
|  | 
| Salvia is the star of the show right now. The day lillies will take over next month. | 
|  | 
| Lupines, bellflower, scabiosa, and gerbera daisy are new additions this year. | 
|  | 
| Ice plant | 
|  | 
| The Rhododendron border has finally grown big enough that the deer no longer eat all the flower buds! | 
|  | 
| Siberian Iris buds | 
|  | 
| Siberian Iris in bloom! |

| Cranesbill | 
|  | 
| Kousa Dogwood Tree | 
|  | 
| Peonies | 
Just as I hoped, a peek out the window this morning revealed my roses in full bloom!

All that's left to do now is sit back, enjoy, and look forward to what July will bring!
