June is the month for my lavender to bloom. I would like to try to propagate some of lavender with stem cuttings, but I don't know if I will or not. It might be fun to try.
I have a volunteer privet bush coming up in the middle of one of my lavender plants. I will have to do something about that.
I have some hollyhocks planted nearby, but I'm not sure if they will bloom this year or not. I started them kind of early, but I'm not sure if I started them early enough. They are biennials so we'll see.
The birds love the bird bath.
Our neighbor's cat is keeping an eye on all the baby birds for us---that's her job. We used to have a cat just like this one; we loved that cat. "Sugar" used to sit on the roof and watch us--she was so cute. She also rang our doorbell to get us to come to the door. Actually, I think she wanted in, but with asthmatics in the house that didn't happen very often. She slept in the garage on cold nights.
Here's another view; I still have a lot of work to do.

We have lots of baby robins in the back yard.

Here's what our latest project looked like this morning before I started working on it.
I got the vines and roots dug up clear back to the bushes for about 5 ft. in length then I forked over most of that.
It was hard work that involved resting periods. You can see where the fork is----that is where I stopped; it was time to get cleaned up and go exercise with my youngest daughter.
Another days work and I'm pooped.
