nice pic

SteamyChik. my yard was brown too. it has been a hell of a hot summer for most of us. Just cut my lawn after 5 weeks. finally got some green in it and grew.

DA, with those kinds of temperatures, it is no wonder nothing is growing. i lost a lot of my flowers for this year, but i am sure they will come up again next year.
vacation time has been good. i say ANY time away from work is good. got my canning done. 116 jars worth! will need to go back to work for a rest.
dont have to go back until next tuesday midnight.

it's my favourite time of the year as well.......i love the smell of fall......the colours......it is just the best time.....

fall

definitly one of the wonders of nature...colors are beautiful, and i enjoy raking the leaves too. i still get urges at 46 to jump in the piles of leaves.
i also enjoy the winter if there is a lot of snow because i still enjoy sliding downhill on a tobaggan and snowball fights.
just a big kid at heart i guess.

I've have nothing of import to add, but it's been a while since I followed Batter on the boards and I felt that it was high time that we repeat.

see if this works.
this is called Donkey-Tail Spurge. i planted it this year and it should get yellow flowers on it next spring.

wohoo!! LOL

this one is a Japenese Toad Lily.

the flowers are small and bloom in mini clusters.
i cheated on this one. LOL i couldnt get a close up with the camera so i used a magnifier sheet from my cross stitch and used it and the camera to get a pic.
hey, whatever works right?
