Finally Feels Like Summer!

Well, school is over and the weather has been beautiful! My whole family is home for a summer visit so all 5 kids and 6 grandchildren have been hanging around my mom and dad's a lot, chatting, laughing and eating too much. It's been so much fun! Having family around is good for the soul:)

We found some time to do some yard work around my place today. I appreciate the help from my sisters and my nieces! Even my little 5 year old niece, visiting from Korea, dug right in and pulled out her share of weeds.

My foxgloves are beautiful! I was bummed to hear that that are a bi-annual so they won't be making an appearance next year. Oh well, enjoy them while they last!

I also got some new neighbors in the house you see in the background. They have a wonderful family who have been in and out the last few days helping them get set up!
I promised to post the progress on my annual pots. I'm not totally loving them this year.. again. I just don't seem to have the knack! But they are better than when they started:)

I also put some impatients in the shed's window boxes. The pink looks really nice against the grey. I can't wait for them to grow for bigger impact!

Tomorrow, I plan to mulch the gardens and of course, walk down to catch a glimpse of the William and Kate, who are visiting Summerside today as part of their Canadian tour! I wonder what she'll be wearing??

Her Canada Day outfit was nothing short of perfect! 

Wish me luck!

Happy 4th to my American readers! Enjoy the day!
