So often you hear me "complain" about the long, hard winters here, but when summer arrives, it's so glorious that all is forgotten. Kohler was designed as a garden community, and the village is dotted with wonderful gardens by master gardeners and home gardens flourish as well. The irises here are along the side of our home and I couldn't resist showing you the splendid color.
Besides gardening, we do as much as possible outdoors to take advantage of our few brief months of delightful weather. We cook as much as possible outside and relax on our tiny, comfortable stone and grass patio.
Summer has always been my favorite season and this year is no exception. How sweet it is to put away the heavy coat, hats, mittens, scarves and boots!
I hope your summers are just as lovely and that every moment of this rich season blesses your lives as well!
Because it is a sunny area, we tried to choose flowers with color who love the sun, including black eyed susans, shasta daisies, salvia, blanket flower, and pinks. Check back tomorrow and throughout our summer growing season for for the completed project!
Today the new Camille begins a series of adventures in Kohler. The village paths are dotted with modern sculptures and botanical gardens. The garden glories change in summer and fall, but Camille is particulary fascinated by the glorious spring blooms. They are all within walking (or hopping) distance of any Kohler locale, and visitors can even rent a walking tour tape of the many gardens. Come visit our lovely village at any time, and stay tuned for her adventures at the Kohler Design Center, the Waelderhous, and even The American Club!
