It's almost weekend and splendid warm and sunny weather! This afternoon our national football/soccer team is playing the world cup quarter final against Argentina and the whole country is all excited! Tomorrow night I'm going to a classic open air concert with picnic, candle light and wine in our beautiful Knoops parc and I'm really looking forward to this event every summer. I'm wishing you all a sunny and happy weekend!

Beautiful evening light
I love taking photos in the soft evening light, like these that I took yesterday evening, can you see how shiny the light makes the pictures?
This is how the Clematis Multiblue looks after it has lost all the petals, I find it is still very pretty:
I had to add my three Allium Globemasters again lol because I think they look like a snowman from this angle, can you see what I mean?

A different view
in my garden, I dont think I have posted pictures of it yet. This is when you come from my dear neighbour Ulla's garden and enter mine through our middle path. The tree with ivy growing at it's feet is exactly on the middle line of our gardens.
and this is what you see when you go through the path and look around in direction of my house
These blue bells are growing nicely at my willow fence at the moment
and last but not least the three glorious Globemasters again lol

It's all about roses
in my garden and in my house at this time of the year
This beauty is named "Rokoko" rose and it has the delightful scent of wild roses, I wish I could make you smell it!
Well I couldn't help other than pick some roses for inside as well they match my rose dishes, cushions etc..And this one is called "Rosarium Glücksburg":
Marion you've asked me about the name for the rose in the next photo which I had posted another picture of in my last post too. I've bought it as "Cottage Rose", but when I google Cottage Rose photos they do look a bit different so I'm not that sure anymore that this is a real Cottage Rose. At first it looks more purple and when it fades it's going over in a light pink like in this photo here:
The biennial foxgloves are looking fab with my roses at the moment:

The first roses
of this season are finally blooming in my garden! From now on I'll have new roses flowering every day yay! :D
The Fairy with white Delphinium and Geranium x magnificum
My Clematis "Multiblue" does not only look good with Alliums, but also with the blue Delphinium.
And this is another Allium which has just started to bloom Allium "Christophii "
and these 3 really big balls of Allium "Globemaster" are also in full bloom now, as you can see they are even bigger then my blue glass balls!

A peek in my garden
Between my garden house and my garden is a little path for all the neighbours of our row to get to their back yards. This is what they see when they pass by and take a peek in my garden
My terrace/patio a few days ago, the grapevine has entwined it's twines along the window now
and this is what has happened to my sisters bikes while she and her husband have been away for a 5 week USA/Canada vacation. The hop has totally entwined around their bikes. I wonder if she'll find them when she comes home today lol

Box wood (Buxus) in my garden
I've plenty of box wood hedges in my front and in my back yard mostly with ivy growing underneath and I've spend 3 days to cut them all with sheep scissors *phew*

Pentecost pics
The weather wasn't really bad at Pentecost, even though it was very windy, at least it didn't rain and I've managed to take a few good shots for example from my magenta colored "Diascia"
or from my blue "Geranium x magnificum"
and from my bordeaux red Clematis "Ville de Lyon" which is just opening it's blossoms
But the best thing is better/warmer weather is to be due from tomorrow on! Woohoo! :D I have the feeling that all your good whishes have helped a lot! My back is much better too (although I've cutted all my box tree hedges by hand)! Thank you very much for all for your good wishes and enjoyable comments! x

Birdhouse, thermometer, hand washer
Thank you all dear readers and blogging friends for your nice comments to my last post, it's always a pleasure to read them!I'm going to continue my vacation next week, although it looks like the weather isn't really improving as forecasted, but my back hurts and needs a rest from all the desk/pc work.
So now it's June and I'm waiting impatiently for my roses to bloom.
Meanwhile I did a few other photos of things in my garden, like this small bird house which is also a feeder.
or this enamel thermometer
well and this my garden hand washer
Oops I've just realised that I forgot to plant the fuchsia, I'll do that tomorrow!
