July is upon us already, and it's almost as quickly slipping into the past. True Summer's noontime heat, and beautiful evenings, and drop-dead-gorgeous nights, are so easy to get lost in, to where you don't even notice that the calendar days are surging on like the click-clack of a railroad car.
(As I imagine a railroad car would, at least. I wouldn't actually know. [I like 'railroad car', it sounds so classic and elegant and sophisticated, even if it were only a third class ticket. {Even 'third class ticket' sounds so thrilling!} It's mostly the era, I imagine, and all the movies made it seem so stylish.] But I think I would like to ride on a train, someday.)
And so summer steals by us, and on toward August...
But first, there's Hollyhock season! It wouldn't be right to leave them without an accolade for all the beautiful blooms they put on. So in honor of hollyhock season, take a look at these...
They make a terrific show by the front gate, and Bard the boxer likes to lay in the cool damp earth in their shade. When he isn't waiting for somebody...
What a vibrant and lovely soft pink! The colors all coordinate beautifully. Who says red and pink don't go together?
