productive weekend...

cone flowers are blooming...

and we have just one more day of hot before we are in the upper 70s for a couple of days...

I was able to work really well both days...

there is still much to do, but we are getting there...

these will soon be leaving...
it has been discussed...
they should have been in the trash this morning...
but...
we ran out of time...

the rose of Sharon is budding and will soon be blooming, too...
day lilies are going on now...

got all of these planted...
loved playing here...

and the names are...
Hilga and Hanz...

the last 2 of these...
and the rain yesterday evening took the petals down...

Hanz in the morning light...
not crowing, but we are working on that...

and these characters decided it was time to explore and escaped from the kennel...
so now they are in one that opens from the top...
it will take them another week or so to figure that out...
meanwhile, mom can still get in and out when needed...
3 are adopted so far and haven't posted them yet...

2 got back to the rescue when they are ready and that leaves just one...
;o)

DH had another birthday and we had a great drive last night in the rain...
it poured at times and when it was almost done, or so we thought...
we headed out to look at the clouds and sunset...
saw some cows and some baby raccoons playing in a creek...
;o)
and no camera!
figures...

;o)
with soap in his eyes...

Happy Birthday, old man...
ya know I love you...
;o)

here, there and yonder...

oh, have we had some nasty, humid weather...

so I have been staying inside much of the time...

I get out early in the morning and late in the evening...

as the evening wore on last night, much of the humidity left...

we are supposed to have a nice day around 83...

the corn and beans love the hot and damp...

they are growing by leaps and bounds...

they have the ground pile done at the elevator...

I love a good wheat field...
breaks up all the green...

and the babies are growing, too...
going to try to shoot them this weekend...
;o)

my wish for you today:
dryer air
