It's just beautiful - and you're a great writer! <br /><br />White definitely does it for me for a cool looking garden. I planted green/white hostas in front of white hydrangeas across the front of our farmhouse and it looks very serene and cool there. <br /><br />Looking forward to future posts from you!<br /><br />xoxo laurie@heavens-walkHeaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-47024118388196958142010-07-11T13:10:55.056-04:002010-07-11T13:10:55.056-04:00Hi Carole,

This past week has brought welcome rain showers, which keep the heat down. I do love white in the summer...so fresh and cool. I also adore blue salvia and pink petunias. Your photos are absolutely splendid!

Hopefully you'll get some rain soon, dear Carole! If we had a garden, there would be lots of pinks and whites, a little bit of blues purples but not the tiniest bit of orange.<br />Today is Friday BTW. Just helping you out a bit ;-).<br />Hugs,<br />JuliaJulia @ Vintage with Laceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099410450914344241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-51290529479798043402010-07-09T04:13:23.661-04:002010-07-09T04:13:23.661-04:00Hello Carole

I was getting very fed up with nothing but grey skies...<br />Today the temperature is quite cool.<br />I love your photos!<br />I like having purples, pinks and blues in the garden.<br />Have a lovely weekend<br />Isabelle xSuzy's Vintage Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355297827117557882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-50822079152287857732010-07-08T23:42:12.583-04:002010-07-08T23:42:12.583-04:00well carole, we southerners just stay in the house...well carole, we southerners just stay in the house lol. but if we had those gorgeous gardens we just might have a hard time doing so. thanks so much for your sweet comment, i am feeling better tonight. your pics are so pretty and i'm with deb at talkin' trash, i'd buy your calender too.<br /><br />hugs,<br /><br />shelleysweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878465110636939320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-5372923363582647092010-07-08T14:02:15.808-04:002010-07-08T14:02:15.808-04:00Your photos are so beautiful...the tinting you add...Your photos are so beautiful...the tinting you added....LOVELY!

Also blue, green.<br /><br />Sitting here in white linen tunic & no pants (well, I'll put them on before I dash to corner drycleaner, I promise.) tho' I cannot drink coffee or eat lunch with white tunic on because there are not enough Tide pens in the world to help me here. I lost my mind when I purchased it last month. (But I love it.) <br /><br />I have never used the a/c so much in my life. Very happy that I bought an overpriced, teensy but very strong, quiet fan at store I usually make fun of (obese furniture & overpriced aspirational nonsense. I grew up with the originals & cannot fathom these prices. Still...so relieved I "felt" this fan at a friend's house. It's that quiet.)<br /><br />Off to wet hair. Have hosed down the cat. <br /><br />BTW, hot is hot. I've been on many an archaeological dig or a reporting trip in south Med, N.Africa, Mideastern desert. If I heard one more person say 'but it's dry...' I thought I'd club them over the head. OK, crankiness is returning. Sorry. <br /><br />It is worse in the humidity but at a certain point, 120 degrees, dry or not, is hot. (No, it's not hit that in DC, but I've been in 120F often enough.)<br /><br />What else? What everyone does (I hope). Hats, hats, hats, sunglasses, water, water, water. I would look 300 years old (not to mention the other dangers of no protection) if I'd not done this since young. Redhead's skin, coloring. <br /><br />I'll go back & look at your fleurs again. Oh so pretty.<br /><br />xoGiuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569643363733791671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-9331867196538252982010-07-07T18:30:48.848-04:002010-07-07T18:30:48.848-04:00wow !!!! these photos are breath taking.......smil...wow !!!! these photos are breath taking.......smiles, Lindafrom me to thee.........https://www.blogger.com/profile/12694664860471099146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202999169050241136.post-65427046403487677092010-07-07T13:26:09.748-04:002010-07-07T13:26:09.748-04:00yes, normally white would make me feel cooler, but...yes, normally white would make me feel cooler, but at 103 degree nothing seems to be doing the trick!
