I don't have nice ones like that, but they fill in nicely in the lake this time of year. I'm going to get around to making a waterfall/pond in my landscaping, and will probably "borrow" some lillies from the lake.


I thought it was illegal to harvest them, but I'm not sure.


I also found a patch of pitcher plants growing in a "hard to get to"pond a few years ago....I think I'll revisit that area too.

Crappy light at 6am, but if I wait for light the blooms are wilted from this heat from hell.

I picked up this cheap little clematis at Lowes that had it's own lil trellis in the pot. C. 'The President'

My garden is doing okay, finally. Had to re-plant in June after a deer attack.

Who is the cutie with the corndog?

SPRINGFIELD

That's my oldest boy, turns 3 in a few months. He helped me plant everything, and has had a blast watching it all grow!

Looks like your Mammoth Sunflowers are ready to pop...mine are bending under the weight of the flowers.

Yep, one of them did yesterday, and I think the others will today. I'll post new pictures when they do.

I love that boy with the ketchup on his face! Does he like hugs?

How many children do you have, and what are there ages? I love little ones to pieces! I can't get enough of them.

Thanks for the kind words! I had some pics posted of him on the old board(back when I was puritania) when he was just a few months old. Time goes fast. I do have another son, almost 8 months old. I love my boys so much, just to see them start off in life with a clean slate. Innocent, and everything in life is so wonderful and unbelievable to them. They just drink it all in and enjoy life like very few adults can! and that's a good thing! I dread the day that they start to realize the world is a nasty place. Hopefully our home will always be a safe haven to that, a shelter of sorts. The garden is so wonderful to my boys, I wish they knew how good it has been for MY soul!
