I am not certain what it is about human kind, but we always focus on those things that seem to be hard to get - mmm, think of like maybe Pierce Brosnan :) In a city like Calgary, where winter reigns throughout most of the year the favorite activities for the locals seem to be golf and gardening. Go figure! Our growing season is truly maybe three months. And during that three months we are subject to possible snow (like in June), incessant wind, multiple hail storms ... and rabbits. For these reasons, you must forgive my seasonal obsession with my garden and the many pictures I like to take and post.

ahh...you mother is sure to enjoy your garden...as do I..have a beautiful day,Raina.
Well I just love the photo's of your garden and of the knitting which comes with the colder weather!
Beautiful garden.
you have a striking garden and I do like the gnome. so cute. And I share your passion for gardening, we have very cold winters and summer is short. I take far too many pictures of plants and flowers, but I like it.
Love the corners of your garden - enjoy. It is great to have seasonal pursuits.
I love seeing all your garden photos.
We have nearly the opposite situation here, we have more warmer months than cold... I can usually count on December, January and February to not have to tend to outdoor chores and be able to relax and knit. I'd trade places easily. :^)
being a canadian i understand that need to be in the garden, outside, soaking up enough of the goodness to get us through the next winter!
That is such a short season to enjoy so I am sure you are making the most of it. I love to see the garden.
Your garden is in deed beautiful ~ do enjoy this fleeting time. I'm amazed you can have snow in June!!!! That does seem late.
Any more signs of spooky rabbit? I read an article that there is an aggressive breed of rabbits on the loose.
Yes please! More garden photos! They are lovely...
your garden looks beautiful! i know you're enjoying it as much as you can right now. LOVE the gnome.
enjoyed your garden photos, the gnome is a lovely touch
Loving these highlights from your garden, Raina...lots of pockets of beauty everywhere. Living in Norway, our seasons are rather similar to yours there. Our growing season is 3-4 months tops. Gardening is a challenge. The gardening of my dreams seems elusive still, but I try for a happy medium. Summer being so short here, we are milking the days for all they are worth and enjoying a very sweet season just now. Savor the summer now, Raina--just take time and enjoy to the full! Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))
I have to admit that the way you introduced the knitting time coming soon really makes me looking forward knitting again. The garden is really beautiful and you even have a gnome living there!
r garden is beautiful! i will never get tired of the pictures!
Our growing season is a bit longer than yours (although frequent snow in June and hail as well!) but I do the same thing. So focus all you want on your garden and the beautiful colors you have around you now! :)
i love those little garden gnomes!
Your garden is beautiful.
If I had three months of sun, I'd be obsessed with gardening too.
i totally understand your adoration for your garden...it's beautiful!
Oh yes make hay while the sun shines :o)
Beautiful!
I love seeing your garden! and totally understand our tiny growing season. Seems this year summer hasn't really even gotten started yet.
Your garden looks very well cared for, lovely photographs. I really like the pots on the steps. Sadly our weather has been atrocious here for the last couple of weeks, so ours has been a bit neglected!
so pretty! i love it! great pctures too! it is so dry here right now, and so very hot, i'm watering like mad, morning and evening just to keep things alive, let alone green and blooming!
