All so beautiful. So many pretty flowers and fields. I hope the ants return to the forest where they belong.

Do you consider lily of the valley a weed ? Does Russia have any venomous snakes?

@Larissa, lilac bush clones are used across the US to provide information on seasons and indicate climate change. I wonder where in this country the lilacs are blooming this late ... Alaska, Wyoming, Colorado but I bet it's above Denver's altitude.
Near the Idaho and Washington border is the "lilac city," Spokane. The Lilac Festival is early May and there are usually flowers. Sometimes they haven't yet bloomed and some years (like 2016), they are past their prime!
We have a well-known poem about lilacs blooming at the time of the death of a US president. He was killed in mid-April, at the time lilacs were blooming in Washington D.C., evidently.

I love lilacs as well. I love the scent! I have planted lilacs to the South and West of the deck so I can enjoy the aroma on the breezes.
Beautiful pictures, Larissa. My yard has been overcome with grasses going to seed. Little time to mow. My orchard and children's play yard look like your dandelion lawn as well. I feel like nothing is getting done and anything that does I must do myself.
I thought I could wait until the new tractor arrived and get caught up quickly on the yard work. Now I hear it will be the end of August before it is delivered. Rather feels like waiting and waiting and waiting for your car.
All my summer projects gone ka-blooey! I fear they have become fall projects -- if the tractor makes it home by even then.

I agree with you! I would not want to leave the beauty of your garden on the forest edge to be in a big city however beautiful. I disliked living in the city and never want to live anywhere other than my little piece of heaven in South-est, central-est Wisconsin, U. S. A.
Why must you return to Moscow? How often do you get to your beautiful gardens?
