Sad Garden..............................

Oh my, so sick of this heat. It makes me ill. The garden looks so sad. Needs so much work but I just can't stand being out there.
So today Gerry said "shall we go for a walk over by the State Hospital. At first I said no it was too hot. He said well it's probably OK under the trees and so we went. I DO need the exercise after all. So off we went. Ugh......


Well it may have been shady, mostly, but it was HOT and HUMID and buggy. We walked as far as Kids Creek. That was enough for me.
So
This creek is the same as the one over by Michaels and where we saw the deer. It meanders all over the place.
We headed home. I just didn't want to go anywhere else. This weather is miserable and going to be in the 80s all next week. High 80s
I took a quick look around my wilting garden after the sprinklers were done, they had not been on long enough. Tomorrow they will have to run all day by the looks of the curly leaves and dead branches falling out of the Maples. However I did have one little visitor that I enjoyed. He posed for me so I got some good shots.

I love the light on his wings


I think how horrible it must be for the birds and wee beasties at least I can get away from it. Remember to leave water out for the birds and animals folks.


When you look at these tiny miracles it makes my day. Look at the details on the wings. The hair on the body. I saw his eyes moving? watching me unafraid.
The Day lilies are blooming and those too are a miracle when you really look

These purple bells are one of the banes of my garden existence. I love them but.............they are invasive in the extreme. I try to keep them controlled. Thats a full time job right there.

I didn't get many pictures today, the little dragon fly took up the time I was willing to spend out there.
So for today that's it. Time for bed and try to get some sleep ugh!!!
