Hot.........

Heat, thunder showers and then there is more heat.  I will have to mow early in the morning and get my place cleaned up a little.  The weeds are tall and not the grass.

A Big Break........

It is a break.   I didn't know that the apple tree had so many apples on it.  I did notice that we have been getting very windy days and the down bursts were breaking off a lot of the tips of some of the trees. This apple tree had thirty or more apples on it which made it a heavy branch. Now they are history.

Snapdragons.........

I rescued these from a fate of being put into the dumpster.  The grocery store had put out many sad looking plants for almost free prices.  This plant is growing in one of my planters. I have to remember to water often to keep them going.

Another lily shot.........

This is a smaller lily but it still has great color. I keep it watered to keep it up and going.  It has the promise of many blooms with all those buds.

Sneaking a Drink.........

I keep a pan of water for my neighbor cats in which to get a drink.  Tom Tom, our friendly neighbor cat who lives on the porch with Yellow Kitty goes for the fish tank water.

A smaller photo of him after his drink is shown at right.  I couldn't get a clear shot of him as he was moving and so was I apparently.



I am keeping up my blogging but my reading of other blogs just isn't happening.  I will try to catch up sometime soon.  Sorry to be so busy and not be able to keep up.

Monday's Bloom.......

The daylilies are slow to bloom this year but this one looks great.  I like it's subtle color and green yellow center.

Coneflower Season........

My coneflower plants seem to have diminished in growth as I have less blooms than usual.  I thought they were pretty much a wild flower and couldn't be contained. I guess I am going to move some to a different location to see if they are getting too much shade.
