Summer in the garden

This morning there was a lovely breeze and I could sit in the garden. It felt great, because the last few days were too hot to be outside. I have several spots to sit in the garden, and this is my favorite.

The garden needs watering every afternoon and it takes quite some time, because I prefer to do it manual, I don't have an irrigation system. It is also good, because I can pick weeds while watering and check what needs to be done. 

The petunia's are doing great, as well as the roses. When I came here, 30 years ago, the garden had already these beautiful big pink roses. Every year I take cuttings, so I have new ones, in case the old ones die.
