This is a definite deviation from my usual recipe type post, but it is summer and we are spending the week at our camp. Today it was humid,windy and hot and I was just relaxing sitting on the boat down at the dock.  I was looking back at the shore and just amazed at all of the different types of grass and flowers growing there.

We aren’t those type of folks who have tried to recreate the neat and tidy city yard here by the lake.  Our shoreline is totally natural, we let the grass grow tall and the weeds pop up between the slats of the dock.  The birds are always flying in and out of the grass catching bugs and hopefully nesting there too.

According to my Mom these are wild morning glories and they look a lot like petunias.

 

There used to be actual gardens up by the camp that I had planted flowers in but the wild flowers just keep taking over, so I have just let them win.

 

Then the water was calling so I sat on the boat and then our little family of ducks swam by…what timing!  Those little ducklings have grown so fast in the past few weeks, pretty soon they will be the same size as their momma.

 

Hope you have enjoyed my relaxing day goofing off and doing not much of anything. What a way to spend Monday. I could definitely get used to this.
