Lissa’s back garden has really come into its own this summer.

The panorama above (click for a bigger image) is five shots electronically stitched together so you can get a feel for the joy of it all.

The sunflowers have been a show, and the raised bed we built several years ago has an abundance of zinnias that just keep on blooming. Over on the mound on the right, a California poppy is finally taking hold, and L’s been persistent in raising some tomatoes for my breakfasts. Yumm.

The shiny thing on the left with the cattails growing out of it is our pond. Birds love it, as do we.
