seriously?

well, its drought time on the old prairie...
and the mower guy got a break this week...

we woke up to this guy on Wednesday...
remember the tacky war I talked about with a friend who had moved to Indiana?
guess who's back...
well, Craig and I passed him off to the neighbor's that night and they woke to find him in front of their garage doors...

begonias were scorched a bit yesterday evening...
so this weekend will be move things around again as the days grow hotter...

there's a lot of time spent watering...
but no weeds...

day lilies popped open this week...

bought these this morning off of a friend on facebook...
$5 each and I love them here...
will add to them later...

seriously now...
you won't see this in any home decor or garden magazines...
there should be a section titled how your kids spend their summers and crash your design...

rose moss loves the heat...

and the pansies are still holding their own, but not for long if we don't move them...


what I decided to put out front...

pinks for the table...

seriously, mom...
he took my bed...

I love this bench...
I have used it for so many different things and right now...
its a mini flower bed...

the crops are not doing well...
heed the warning...
if you have extra space, start stocking up...
canned goods, frozen and cereals...
the prices are going to go up again...

its only been raining about once a week at less than 1/10 each time...
its not enough...
we are approaching a critical time for corn and beans in the fields...

well, Bleubelle is on slop...
another couple of weeks and she will be ready to go..
the momma comes out and talks to me...
I can't pet her yet, but she does make it all the way to the living room now...
she spooks easy...
she came and sniffed Bleubelle yesterday afternoon, but Bleubelle hissed at her and she ran from her...


DH has next week off on for vacation and we are going to be working on the southern part of the yard...
should be more to blog about next week...

have a great weekend!
