cooler days are here again...

these photos are from Friday night since I didn't take any yesterday at all...

we have just finished several 100+ days in a row...

and some of the flowers are starting to get droopy...

but not these...

had them in total shade...

and kept watering them every night...

snap dragons are on of my favorites and I really like this color...

these are the short version, which I like the best since I cannot do cut flowers in the house...

they don't fall over as much and still bloom up a storm...

the skies have been hit and miss with clouds until last night...

several storms popped up all evening and just missed us until finally...

one came through and nailed us...

we had lightening and rain!

DH's coleus is getting a trimming when the sun comes up...

there are new leaves under this big ones...

they do well in cooler weather and might just bloom again...

this is bringing us the most wonderful sweet smells ever...

the breeze just picks it up and drifts it right through our yard and onto the deck...

you can smell it as soon as you open the front door...

and it is growing out of control...

I wonder if it will reach the top of the popular someday?

and look what we found walking...

this is our northern most bush...

and growing out of it...

yep, my very own fragrant wonder...

check out the corn in the background...

they are a week from picking...

this field is a few weeks out yet...

we are going to take a drive today, so maybe I can show you some a little further along...

I have had the best time reading your comments from the last post...

I was so afraid of posting silk flowers for my PS...

I should have known I wasn't the only one who has them!

well, I am up because I can't sleep...

it's now 4am...

went to bed and slept about an hour and a half...

woke up like I had slept 8 hours...

wide eyed and bushy tailed, as mom would say...

I am so going to be dragging butt the rest of the day....

stayed tuned, though...

Friday night, I asked Craig to cut Bebe's furry fluff...

with the clippers...

I took a nap and the clipping commenced...

when I woke...

there was my poor dog...

with bald spots...

all over...

so..........

the only decent thing to do was to buzz him....

yep, he's bald now...

I will get a few photos of this poor dog when the sun comes up...

I am going to have to find the sunscreen...

I think he could get sun burnt...

have you every seen a pink poodle???

you need to come back later...
