Hummingbirds Still Around

September 17 and our pair of hummer are still sipping!

Labor Day Blooms

Another heat wave begins with 90 degrees and increasing humidity. About 4 p.m. I went out to the garden bench to see if I could photograph any butterflies. There was not a single butterfly or bird to be seen or heard. I did see some bees in the Liriope in the shade near the hose reel.  I've been watering with the soaker hose twice a week since rainfall is 5 inches below normal. The planters and hanging baskets have needed water twice a day on some hot days recently. Still, I was able to find some bloom and color this late in the garden season.
