We had a wonderfully cool May and June. Rarely got above 70 degrees. Many days the Marine Layer was hugging the mountains and engulfing the valley.
I bought a new hydrangea called Mysterious. It’s a mystery to me how it has so many different colors. Just gorgeous.
Wild flower season is well underway. Wild Sweet Peas in the top photo, Seep Monkey Flower in the bottom photo.
My cherry trees are loaded this year. For some reason, the birds are leaving quite a few cherries for me!
The lake is looking particularly beautiful since it’s so full from all the snow last winter.
The forest is wonderfully green, too, although the July heat is turning the grasses to gold pretty quickly now.
Sylvia Squirrel getting a drink from the birdbath. How squirrels manage to drink while upside down is a mystery to me.
