I realized that I haven’t taken too many flower photos lately. I wasn’t thrilled by what I saw around the yard-2 feet tall weeds! I thought I had kept on top of them, but the heat and rain really caused an uproar. I was out tonight pulling weeds, even from the back patio! The ants were not happy. I’m not going overboard, but I will get the gardens/yard presentable. Since I have to pay for online photo storage soon, I am going to start and use Flickr for my photos here. I can upload at their full size too. I love the colors in this sunflower!
On one side of the house, we have a yellow jacket nest in a window well area. They really fly in and out of it quickly, and I’m afraid to even walk by. It’s also near my fairy/gnome garden and glider, so I haven’t really been near that area for a while.
I had a craving for a brownie sundae, so Bri took me to Baskin Robbins tonight. I can’t remember the last time I ate ice cream. I’ve been good and have cooked well balanced meals all this week.
Sean called and said he went and checked his car and started it up. It’s a good distance from his dorm. We are hoping he gets brave enough to start and drive around soon. I have a care package almost ready to mail. It just needs his favorite goodie-7 layer cookies.

Mumm- I lobve those 7 layer cookies. I am sure it’s just what Sean needs 🙂 Take care.
Okay, I have a dumb question…what is a 7-layer cookie? It sounds great and probably something my family would enjoy. Do you mind sharing your recipe?
I love the sunflower. I don’t think I ever saw one that orange. It definitely looks like fall is coming to our area. My dogwood in the front yard is starting to change color and drop leaves. Not many but starting.
That sunflower is just glorious!! I only have the yellow ones but I sure do love those orange ones! When I was travelling last weekend I noticed how the trees are already starting to change colours…won’t be long, Autumn will be here! Oh dear, a yellow jacket nest…hopefully you can get rid of it somehow? I’ve never heard of a 7 layer cookie either…sounds good though:-) xox
what a cool photo- I’m just getting into photography myself, and flowers are one of my favorite subject matters- I just entered one of mine in a 1800flowers.com contest, so I was out in my garden all day last weekend taking pics- it was so much fun! You should submit that one though- the orange color is beautiful.
