mosaic Monday...August garden walk

This month rather than taking the same boring path shots, I decided to show you the early August garden tour via mosaics and join the link part over at Mary's, The Little Red House. Please visit her to see all the other's participating.

First up, we see the front of the house shots. The pillar pots are doing wonderful and the bed has filled out. The terra cotta angels have now made this area their new home and it looks like they have installed a door under my front steps to the fruit cellar below them.Next, we see the front rose garden where the roses have provided constant color since late May. The first blossom has also opened on one of the mumsy marigolds.
Heading over to the wildflower garden we spy a butterfly and the first brown-eyed susans opening up.
Next up...the barn veggie and herb garden with a few blossoms for color. I sure wish color was on those tomatoes!
We are now on the patio and there are many beautiful flowers surrounding the cement.
Stopping at Pine Hollow we see the miniature hosta given to me by Kathy, Glacial Ridge Knits, planted next to the fairy having tea at the cottage in the upper left photo. In the below right we see the fairies are taking time out to have an outdoor piano concert next to the pavilion.
The cabin and it's surrounding flowers.
The pond has color around, on top of and in it!
And finally some random backyard shots. I think the garden has hit peak bloom time early this year (around late July) and is already on the downward spiral to Sept and the ragged brown look.
Hope you have enjoyed mosaic peek into the early August garden. If you like the more traditional path walk you can go back to see those shots on the July garden posts - part one, part two, part three and part four.
