From the garden

I've been pretty frustrated this year because the weeds are over running the garden, and I don't have the time nor the stamina to solve the problem. However, in the spirit of positive thinking, I spent some time the other morning focusing on the good part -- the flowers. Here are some close-up pictures. I have had beautiful arrangements in the house and for the rest of the summer I am going to try to see the flowers, not the weeds.
