Laguna Garden Charm

I'm posting eye candy. Garden ideas from my yard, and neighbors. Come over it is summer. I'll make you homemade lemonade with mint sprigs. I have six varieties of heirloom tomatoes going wild. I even have okra and peppers in my front yard.

 

Mortgage rates are up a tick but everything in Orange County seems to be rosy.

Tourism is up 31% in Laguna Beach.

I am certain it might be more. I haven't seen traffic backed up this far in ten years. On my drive home from my W J Bradley Mortgage Capital LLs office in Newport Beach the traffic stops at Crystal Cove to enter north Laguna Beach. I'm not complaining. I can sit in my car and watch pilot whales pass me.

When I get home in an hour I look forward to the unusually cool weather in the mid sixty degrees in the evening. Last night my daughter and I went to Laguna Beach Art Walk and the streets were jammed and lively.

 

I love Dutch Doors-- this hand painted screen is amazing and wonderful

Herbs, roses, old heritage annuals all from seed

Come sit and enjoy the music of hummingbirds

Hollyhocks

old fashioned door bell-better yet pick some weeds and the dogs will let me know you are here
