Very prolific this year-love the colors, fringes, stamens, etc.!

Brian’s dad is still in the hospital. He has a heart valve problem that is affecting his kidneys it seems. He is having a test tomorrow to see why he is having the other bathroom issues. Tonight Dad C. sounded a bit groggy. He thought he had slept for 11 hours and it was Monday. I’ll keep you posted.

Hot. hot, hot here! We really need the rain! Some gardens are struggling. If it’s not the lack of rain, it’s the wildlife causing havoc. I went out tonight to find all my gourmet lettuce (just ready to pick) and most of the sunflowers and zinnias nibbled on. I’m thinking it’s deer. All the houses springing up around here has caused them to check out people’s yards. I have had this issue in the past. I may need to put up a fence now.
