This is the garden right now. I love how it changes daily. Sometimes I find myself mourning the loss of some blooms like peonies, iris, lilacs,etc, knowing that it will be a whole year before I can enjoy them again. The only solace is that there is always a new beauty to come and take it's place. I love that the clematis, monarda, shasta daisys, and daylilies are blooming, and I know I will be missing them when they are done. So the cycle goes.
We have been enjoying these summer days. Hubs is on vacation for a couple of weeks and we are planning some road trips. He loves traveling in the high country, so that means narrow winding roads and few if any potty stops. I do have to say that I enjoy it as well. So we will be enjoying the mountains very soon. Landon loves anytime he can spend in a car. I think he enjoys it as much as we do. Hopefully you all are having your share of fun this summer.

It is absolutely breathtaking...every single photo is filled with delight! I long to have a garden as beautiful as yours one day ;) Hope you enjoy your trips!
Hi June,
I fully agree with Alice, breathtakingly beautiful here! Have safe, happy road trips. I really hope you get to stop at least once along the way though... I'll have to email you the rest of this comment later ;) Take lots of photos, please and enjoy. I wish I had asked you for photos for Porch Magazine before you left for your trips... so much beauty here!

Absolutely gorgeous. I had no idea that so much could be grown in Idaho - I guess I imagine cowboys on deserted prairies! I live in the hot desert near Palm Springs, CA - and my gardens are toughing it out! It's so hot!
I love it all JunieGirl. I love it all! This evening my hubby finished a wooden deck path that is gorgeous. Maybe it is the beginning of a beautiful garden like yours. I pray it is so.
Love to you...Rebecca
Your garden is looking very beautiful.
Your photos of the gardens are beautiful! I know what you mean about the ending of the blooms. I so look forward to the peonies & they are gone in no time. With the beginning of August upon us I am already starting to feel the dread of winter coming on.
Love,
Marilyn
your garden looks great June...still so full of color...the view through your beautiful gate of the gazebo is stunning...have fun on your road trips!!!
Hi June,

Carolyn

Good morning June,
Your garden takes my breath away everytime. It is such a blessing to be able to partake of such beauty, even if it's just through pictures...Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden with us. Have tons of fun on your road trip. My family and I had our very first road trip last year and we loved it so much we can't wait to do it again. Have a safe trip.
Blessings and a great big smile,

What a glorious walk in your gardens! Thank you!!!
I, too, mourn the passing of perennials once they have danced their brief solo, and yet there is always something more to cast the eyes upon.
My Matthew LOVES car rides. Our mountainous terrain affords evening drives and we take advantage EVERY evening during these glorious days/nights of summer.
enJOY your vacation, sweet friend. : D
Hi dear June,
This is just what I needed to see this afternoon! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden! If only I could stroll through it with you. You have done such a wonderful job with the layout of your garden. I can imagine all the hours you have spent working in it and enjoying every second! It really is incredible!!! I hope to have a garden as lovely as yours one day. I love the iron gate leading to the gazebo and the benches you have here and there. Is that bee balm that has overtaken one? Oh, I love every single flower!!! The roses and clematis are so beautiful... love the pretty pink! Thank you so much for sharing!
I hope you, your husband and Landon have a wonderful time on the road trips. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun!!! I am so glad your husband is on vacation, I know you are happy to have him safe at home!
Love and blessings,
Paula
Oooo...I know I am in for a treat when I see the word 'garden' in your post title! All I can say is "GORGEOUS"!!! I don't know how you do it but being that I have something of a 'black thumb' I admire those who can plant and create such beauty in their gardens:).
Have a safe trip and enjoy your vacation!
Blessings,
Kim
June, your english gardens are breathtaking. The gates, strolling down the path, the arbor ... what a peaceful elegant setting surrounding the gazebo. A little 'peace' (not piece)of Heaven ///... thank you for sharing. TTFN~ Marydon

Hi June! Your garden is amazing! If it hasn't been in a magazine before, it should be! I also just got through touring your studio pictures again. BEAUTIFUL! I've been in such a tizzy since being out of town that I don't know if I left you a comment or not. All I can say is I have a lot of catching up to do! I loved every inch of your space!
I just happen to stumble upon your blog tonight. I love your garden in July! In fact, I love your blog!
~Ann
GORGEOUS!!!
Happy day to you!
Christina :)
What a beautiful garden you have. I would love to spend my days out there. Everything looks so lovely.
HEY, JUNEBUG, LOVE THE NEWEST SHOTS OF YOUR GARDEN. WOW, BETWEEN YOUR WONDERFUL GARDEN AND YOUR GORGEOUS STUDIO, IT MUST BE HARD TO DECIDE WHERE TO SPEND YOUR TIME! THANKS FOR SHARING AND HAVE A WONDERFUL TRIP.
My goodness June, your garden is incredible! Really, really beautiful!!

I love your gardens they are beautiful. Seeing your gazebo reminds me of the very touching post about how it came to live with you.
Enjoy your trip and be safe!

Hi sweet June,
Thank you for taking time to let me know the name of that flower. I will have to see if I can find it, or some seeds next year. I love your garden and your home! Thank you for sharing with me!
Love and hugs,
Paula
Summer of "09" has been delightful...slow, often boring, sometimes productive, slow, slow, and slow...loving it!
Your gardens are beautiful, it would be so hard to leave your gorgeous plants except for day trips.
I love your fabulous garden! And I love it when someone knows the actual names of flowers - one of my pet peeves is reading someones description (like on ebay)...."this is a lovely vintage print with lady standing at a lilac bush" when anyone should know it is a hydrangea. Grrrr - LOL.
Beautiful photos June! We've been busy this summer...You know how it goes with little kids underfoot and a pre-teen going on 30! I hope to savor this last bit of summer... Hope you have a beautiful week! xo
Your garden is so beautiful, June.
I loved seeing all your wonderful flowers.
Have a safe and lovely road trip with your family.
Enjoy the rest of your Summer days.
Hugs
Carolyn
June, you must put a lot of time into that garden...it's gorgeous! It is sad when the blooms fade away. There's nothing quite like the scent of lilacs filling the air. But at least they come back the next year! ~Lori
It is fabulous! Many thanks for sharing with us, smiles, cyndi
