The poppies are still blooming.
I can't seem to gather any seeds from the spent blooms.
I hope to find some seeds for *blue* poppies for next year.


This is a larkspur.........it isn't a great picture,
but I wanted to show the variation in color.
This one is whitish lavender with a light purple.
I love to see the different colors that pop
up in my gardens.


I had one of these plants last year.
I still don't know what they are for sure.
One plant makes a HUGE bouquet.
Aren't they a pretty color?


More larkspur color variation.



Day lilies aren't my favorite.......
we had these growing up in our yard
in Seward, Kansas.
My mom had all sorts of flowers in the yard.
On the North side of our house was a bed of pinkish purple phlox.
They're gone now.


The new yard art.
I can't really fill them with bird-seed
because the seed will
fall on the ground and cause all sorts of
weird grasses to grow.
Not really something I want in my flower gardens.
They're empty right now.
This proves you can enjoy
*empty*.

The larkspur is gorgeous. And I had the name of the unidentified flower on the "tip of my tongue" and now it's gone!

I think you should do a WHOLE post on "enjoying empty"! (If YOU don't, I might!)

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived. These are useful, not beautiful.  I need useful when I garden.  I bought some very low cost sni...
