Tristen in the garden..........

It was so hot and muggy today and Tristen wanted to play outside. Yeuk!!!!. Well outside he went.

It was not very long before he went to his room and came down in his swim suit. What could I say. He already turned the sprinkler on and was having a great time.

Nothing like a boy and a hose,

He enjoyed most of the day outside, playing with his trucks. He came in and got dressed, in a new set of clothes. Then decided to go out again. We eventually got through 3 sets of clothes and some PJ's before bed time.

Meanwhile......in the rest of the garden......a few more things opened today.

The daisies are about to open, the smaller daisies are already open. This was by the pond

The garden by the deck where I have the bird feeders.

The path from the deck to garage/shed, Tristen has a "car park" up the back by the garage, he is unpacking his stuff back there.......getting out his bikes and fire engine

My Clematis is spindly still. I have three of them. All at least a couple to three years. They are not at all sturdy and I wonder how long before they get strong. One has a bloom.

Another Iris is blooming, its not as full as the others. I hope it will be soon. It's beautiful and a pale colour rather than the vivid purple of the others.

The yellow daisies are blooming. The flowers are lovely but they are so spindly and a pest but I have to keep some I will try pinching them down next year and keeping them small. Maybe I can train them to not get as tall.
