The past few months have flown by ... I can't believe it's almost Labor Day! I'm hoping to enjoy a beautiful week of sunshine and take in the last bits of summer. The bold flowers of summer are showing their colors.
My little tour guide is back to show you around the garden.
Purple coneflowers are abundant this year.
Echinacea's make a nice backdrop for the cherub fountain.

The dazzling zinnia blossoms in bright pink.
Rotkugel is one of the best ornamental oreganos for feeding bees and butterflies.
Roses of Sharon in my favorite color.
Black-eyed Susan's have been blooming for quite a while.
A beautiful waterlily graces the pond.
Japanese Anemones with their dainty blooms.

Native Chelone will bloom until fall. I just love the unusual flowers, which resemble the heads of snapping turtles.
A rustic wheel barrel filled with petunias sits on the patio.
Lazy summer days and star filled nights give you a chance to daydream ...
Hope you're enjoying your summer ... the warmth, the sun and the flowers :-)

Your flowers look so pretty, but I love your fountain.
Your flowers are just beautiful Donna.. Mine have been just beautiful too. I have had Cone Flowers in abundance too. My hanging baskets are still great! Blessings!

I just love your little tour guide, and your gardens are so beautiful, Donna!
Donna, your gardens look beautiful! I use a lot of coneflowers and rudbeckia in mine as well. So pretty!
Such beautiful pictures of your pretty garden. I had to laugh at that chipmunk -- his brother is over here raiding my feeder! Your little cherub fountain is really sweet.
You started out with an adorable photo and ended with a breathtakingly beautiful one. I love all of the flowers.
Your garden and flowers are gorgeous! I absolutely love that last photo with the sun going down and the pink sky behind. :)
These are great pictures. My favorite is the one of the little chipmunk. I know they are trouble, but they are so adorable that I can forgive them.
Gorgeous garden :) You do have a green thumb and the flowers seem happy in Your part of the country. Here in So. Ca. Our heat wave was in the 100 for so long,most flowers had a hard time.I also loved the last post in the Mountains-My fave place to be.Denise

Oh your gardens are so pretty. I am hoping to have a garden again someday. I did love that little old house! Thanks for visiting!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Gorgeous summer blooms, Donna. So beautiful! TFS. Hugs, Gayle.
Love your pictures of your garden. The flowers are gorgeous. How did you get so close to your climbing friend?
Would sure love to visit your garden with all it's beautiful flowers.
Your gardens are gorgeous Donna. Love seeing photos of them. This has been one of the coolest Summers in RI, I never took my electric blanket off the bed. :) And it usually comes off by the 4th of July.
Hello Donna, such a beautiful garden. I hate to say good-by to the gorgeous flowers, however Fall is always a pretty time of year with falling leaves. The squirrel is adorable. Loved seeing your pretty photos and also the fountains. Happy Labor Day weekend.
Oh, what gorgeous flowers and your photos are wonderful! My coneflowers never have looked that good - seems the beetles like them too much. I esp. love your anemone and dahlia, I've never grown them but they're on my wish list. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely gardens with us!
Donna, these are gorgeous photos of flowers and the garden thank you for sharing.
