We've had ample rain; excellent growing season.

Starting to get squash and zucchini.

The outside edge is a forty yard, ten foot wide, flower bed. Did it last year and worked out well, brought in a lot of butterflies and goldfinches. Was a economical plant if you have the ground worked up; Queen gathers marigold and zinnias seeds in the fall; spent six bucks on sunflower seeds and used half a bag of fertilizer.

Otis says Hey.

Flowers up against the house are getting outrageous, Dahlias wearing red and white petticoats, and a lily not opened yet, peaking over the shoulders of cleome, and lord, they are burlesque dancers, supplying pink fans to play peek-a-boo.

Two days ago rode the tractor up to youngest son's place; we've been having gorgeous weather. I'll never tire of watching clouds drift over mountains.

Went up there to mow path through blackberry patch, here's the entrance; son took this picture four days ago.

   Thanks Mercury and Bala.

   ~bambou~: any flower that makes a woman want to become a burlesque dancer is MAGIC!

   Thanks belle; the long row peaked around the 4th of July last year; might be on tract for repeat performance; we have some Mexican sunflowers in a different place this year, supposed to bloom orange; never grown them before, but we live in TN, and this is big orange country.

   Delilah: Sometimes a woman just needs a larger vegetable, and Toots wouldn't have to run far; Otis is getting some age on him.

   Thanks Gioia, cory{BI}, and cait~.

   I love zucchini, especially raw in salad instead of cucumber. Musch tastier. Nutty, a bit crunchy and less watery. Give Otis a scritch from me - I was going to say a lick from Toots, but I suspect my bad boy would be more inclined to yowl and smack your poor boy on the nose, before running like heck!.....LOL

    Thanks vaash, Pepin, and Birthday Orlando;

    Pepin: Yeah, been lucky about deer not bothering the garden, and hope we have a good year for blackberries; they usually peak around here on July 4th;

    Orlando: Try to convince Rocky it is your birthday; he might wag his tail extra fast.
