August goes by......

The garden has held up pretty well this Summer.  I'm so happy that I turned the birdbath into a water garden. The birds weren't really using it and it has stayed clear and full all Summer.  Two of the water hyacinths bloomed on the same day-lovely

We have had a quite a bit of wildlife in the garden.  We have started to see some swallowtail butterflies on the lantana and some monarchs on the blood flowers

We have LOADS of humming birds this year

We went to Eckert's to pick apples and peaches.  The peaches have been better, but I will probably cut up most of them and cook them down for cobbler in the winter

Maggie and dad on the wagon

Ben loves apples, he will probably eat most of what we picked!!!

Maggie goes with us, but rarely picks the fruit and never eats it!!!!

Sam and I ran the "I Love Forest Park" run on Sunday, it was incredibly hot and humid and we walked a lot of it....

Marie bought me this flower vase in England.  This is my first attempt at putting flowers in it.  It's hard to find something small enough.  I'll keep trying.....
