Afternoons in the garden,milkweed, hosta and painting

 We let a lot of milkweed grow here for the butterflies.

We divide and move hosta every year and it never disappoints. The color and the flowers are always a welcome change in any part of the yard.

 Most days in this part of the summer we keep both the work table and the tea table in the shade of the front garden where it's handy if anyone stops to visit or just to see what we're working on around here.
