Our son has a new job and has moved from Great Falls, MT to central Illinois. He and I made a run from Missouri to GF and back in 5 days while the movers packed up his things. That's 23 hours ONE way! Thank goodness for Audible books! Once there, we packed some special items and did some cleaning. This is one of the great falls in the area. You can see the dam that generates electricity for the area. This is how Great Falls got its nickname the "Electric City."
The movers did their work efficiently and the rest of his things were loaded then we were back on the road again. Great Falls has a lovely park I think I've shared before. Gibson Park was right across the street from his former home. I took one last walk through the flower garden section and it did not disappoint! Here are some of the flowers blooming in mid June.
Our local Master Gardener group held a little garden tour of some of the members' gardens. I volunteered this year. Each garden was unique and beautiful! One of the best things about our group is how we love learning from each other!
I was able to spend some time with this little fellow! We attended a Flag Day ceremony where we marked the graves of veterans.
Well, sometimes what we pick doesn't make it in the house!
And this is what has been keeping me busy lately. J hurt his knee a couple of weeks ago and had surgery last week. He's doing well but will be using crutches for quite awhile. He's being a good patient and progressing every day. He is also pretty good a snapping green beans! Ha!
Thanks for stopping by to see what we've been up to. The news every day is so troubling, I feel thankful I have my family and my gardens to keep me busy. I'm hoping you are staying healthy.
Also, I've created a Instagram account and would love for you to follow me, if you'd like. The name is shesladyofthmanor and I'll be posting photos of my gardens, food, family and 'goings on' around my home.
Wishing you a happy and healthy 4th of July!

Zenda, you have been quite busy! All of the garden photos you shared are beautiful, and Jack is absolutely precious! I’ll be sure to follow your Instagram account. Take care, and enjoy your week!
Oh my, all the glorious photos of the beautiful flowers have made me smile today. The peonies, lupins, irises..........are such a welcome sight to my eyes. How fabulous you were able to share the road trip with your son....and how wonderful he is living not too far away from you. Your little Jack is such a sweet little boy. He must delight your every day. I hope your patient is well on the road to recovery. So, you have joined Instagram?? I am always dithering about whether I will or not....perhaps I will. =) It has been a joy to visit your beautiful place, Zenda. Thanking you for making me smile.
What a bummer to be off your leg in the summer.
The pics of Jack eating the tomatoes are adorable.
Love the flowers.
I enjoyed looking at your pretty flowers and garden. It's great to hear that you are doing ok and keeping busy. Thanks for the blog visit and have a nice weekend.
