The gardens were perfect a month ago. Then, I had family in town for two weeks, followed by a fabulous plein air trip to Door County, Wisconsin. Throw in the countless things I had to catch up on, and today my focus is back to the garden. Some heavy rain produced a new crop of weeds right at the hottest temps of the summer, and so today I spent almost the whole day regaining control of my flowers! The phlox are holding on, though not as lovely as in early July. It was only fitting that I paint them this evening, since I have been up closer and personal with them all day long. Painting number 1317 in 1317 days. Tomorrow will me in Parkville, for the Plein Air Invitational this week - where I am one of the featured artists :)
