I know Toots! I kept running on the porch to see what was going to happen! LOL ~ The humidity is even getting my Dusty Miller to bud! Doesn't it look happy!

The hollyhocks have started to open for the holiday weekend! How nice!

Here's a grackle lurking around & eating up my sunflower seeds that I left for my baby squirrels! Shoo!

You knew I'd have to have a pink lily!

Man Its hot out here~ Nap time on the cool bricks!

Ellen - Your Caladium is gorgeous!!! I didn't have any idea they'd bloom... Must be happy.

Love the shot of your front bed as well... One of these days mine will look that nice.... I hope. Between it being all bare root plants last spring, and the late freezes this spring its pretty pathetic looking...

Hey~~Those were for the squirrels!

Feverfew is lighting up the yard right now~
