Puttering In the Garden

Today it was shady enough to putter around the garden. I got to deadhead geraniums, smell the lilies, check the shrubs for wind damage, pinch back the coleus, and have my buddy Sweet William pose for a picture. I also got to pull some weeds, rake some pine needles, replace some annuals, and trim some trees, but those pictures aren't quite as picturesque!
