Peace blooms after the rain














We had a little rain and
a few of the roses bloomed-
David Austin's Abraham Darby is on the left
Chicago Peace is on the right
I wish you could smell
the sweetness of them both.

Cooler





It has started to get cooler in the evenings-
from the 50's to the 70'
so the chickens stopped laying..
The ducks started laying...
we bought some heat lamps and will warm up the chickens-
they usually like that.
The hummers are fewer at the feeders..
and the lightning bugs have started to glow down the hill.
A few gardenias are blooming and
we need to cut back the clematis on the camellias...
Much work to do in the garden before colder weather comes.
