June's Blooms, Wedding Announcement and Happy Canada Day!

Oh the month of June! 

How glorious it is! 

The blooms begin to unfold, day by day

and each one brings joy and gladness to my heart! 

One evening while working in the garden, this incredible sunset glow filled the skies.  The whole world was bathed in a soft pink glow! It was amazing to see!

My garden beneath the glow of the pink sunset skies. 

Golden wild honeysuckle blooms abundantly in June...
a sweet treat to dine on while walking! 

I captured this lovely scene while walking,
I love the rhododendron blooming in the backdrop of the lovely old red barn.  

I went to visit a dear couple who have been shut in due to the covid.  We sat outside and had tea. It was a special time of fellowship, and there was a sweet presence of the Lord with us. 

Such a sweet time of fellowship we enjoyed with such lovely teacups and tea shared :) 

My newest addition to my chicken family are 9 little ones.  They are already learning to roost! 

Walking at sunset hour... the skies never cease to amaze me! 

The sweetest kind of bouquet... one picked my from yard full of wildflower blooms... one that costs nothing, needs no attending, and I can pick a new bouquet every day!  

I can't stop taking pictures of the gorgeous sunset skies these days! 

My purple alliums bloomed in sweet splendor this year... they are such a delight to grow,
and then I dry the seed heads to enjoy for years to come :) 

I visited a local city park that has many magnificent gardens while I waited for my dear friend and neighbor to have her eye surgery done.  While the gardens still had not reached their peak blooms, there was still so much to love and see! As I walked the gardens, I prayed for my friend, whose eye surgery was of a very delicate and risky nature.  Praise God! She came through with her eyesight intact, and we are more than grateful for that!  The pictures that follow are from that garden adventure...

I drove by the local Catholic church, and they had such magnificent blooms outside
that I had to capture a picture of the scene! 

A closer look... gorgeous blooms! 

We visited a local state park for a BBQ with our daughter's fiancee's family... and this handsome heron kept us entertained as he fished not far from where we picnicked. 

Such a beautiful lake... there is a trail that winds around the entire lake.  It is about a 2-mile walk.  It was a wonderful day for the picnic and hike! 

My son ahead of me crossing the wooden bridge... he had fun making it sway, he's such a tease, knowing his Momma doesn't like moving things, ha! Lots of smiles throughout the day! 

These wild tiger lilies blooming to their heart's content, upside down.  I had to lay down to capture this photo... the things one will do for a fun picture :) 

A view of the lake from the trail across the river from the picnic site. It was such a beautiful day! 

Oh these wild roses! They have bloomed this year in such magnificence like I've never seen before! Hundreds of blooms and their fragrance filled the air with heady rose perfume.  Just incredible! I've never smelled a cultivated rose perfume like these wild roses share. 

My neighbor's horse.... such a sweet girl... and her name is Luna... fits her well doesn't it! 

More sunset skies... and wild roses!  

Two things I can't get enough of...
sunset skies, and the wildly perfumed roses blooming abundantly here! 

And speaking of two's.... well these two have announced their wedding plans!  My husband and I couldn't be more thrilled for our daughter and new son-to-be!  I was given the privilege of taking their engagement photos... they are such a sweet couple together, and it made my heart swell as they asked me to take their photos. 

I wish I could share all the pictures I took of them, as I loved each one of them,
but I'm just going to share a few of my favorites with you :) 

I just love this picture of them, about to embark upon a life together,
such possibilities and joys await!
Thankful that they will walk the road ahead together with the Lord by their side. 

The days ahead are busy ones... good ones! 
Prayers appreciated for everyone to stay safe and well for their upcoming marriage this month :)  

I took this picture this morning of my Canadian and American flags... and wanted to take this opportunity to wish my fellow Canadians a Happy Canada Day! Celebrating Canada Day in my Americanada style with flags and these two little figurines I found at a yard sale... although I doubt my Texan-born husband will ever join this PEI Islander-born in carting chickens around the yard! {smiles} 

I hope you've enjoyed this post... a June catch-up, and looks like July is gearing up to be a busy one too!  We've had below-normal temperatures here, with more than normal rain, so all the cool-loving plants in my garden are thrilled, and the rest are rather sad looking... ha! Tis the joys of gardening, and we are looking forward to some sunshine this weekend.  I will be back soon to share with you another giveaway... so stay tuned!  With much love to all!
