1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
I like this one of the bumble bee on the Joe Pieweed too.
Joe Pieweed is one of my mom's favorites.
The hostas are still beautiful too.
And here is the reason Brian was taking the pictures and not me. He saw four or five garter snakes while he was out there. Please don't tell me they are harmless....people die from heart attacks.
For more lovely garden pictures visit Jean at Bloomin' Tuesday.
Blogger isn't cooperating, so it took many tries to get just a few pictures uploaded. I hope you enjoyed the short tour of my garden this week.
This post is part of Bloomin' Tuesday as well as Tour Tuesday. So go ahead and check out both. I'm not sure how busy Tour Tuesday will be as the owner had taken a summer break, but hopefully it will get going again.
I love delphiniums, but they tend to flop over with a little wind or rain, so I'll have to start staking them.
Of course the lilies are blooming.
I'm not sure how this Echinacea ended up here...I'm sure I didn't mean to plant it there.
One of my favorites, Lavatera. Because I have to cut it back after it blooms, I've planted Yarrow in front, so it won't look so bare, while I wait for new growth.
My Lavatera are huge this year, with all the rain we've had.
This is taken looking down from my deck. It's just starting to bloom, but is covered in buds. 
And of course my yarrow hedge is still in full bloom, along with a few other flowers and alot of weeds!
Notice the pile of weeds.....I really have been trying!
