Beginning of August.......

Here we are in August. The garden is still blooming but has a wilted look to it. We really do need more rain. I have not seen any Butterfly this year, one lonely white one awhile ago. What's wrong?. I have all the right kinds of flowers. Last year the garden was full of them. I think next year I will throw some packets of wild flower mixes into the front garden and the side. See then what comes up.
I was hoping to get out there today but need to wait for the lawn to get mowed. I don't do that. There are two men here who can do that but they procrastinate.
I don't like kneeling in wet grass so I wait. Maybe this evening it will be cool and maybe someone will cut the grass.
I liked these pictures.......Tristen's forgotten dump truck left out in the rain, and puddles in our driveway


Some pretty close ups of flowers and things

The Blue Jay was wet. He was also determined

The Day lilies look pretty, and I wanted to show this colour, all the same colour but different patterns

Autumn is in the air.........Tiger lily

After the rain, some pretty pictures

More pretty flowers

This chap really wanted to come to the feeder but I was in the window. It didn't stop the Blue Jay......the squirrel took his time and watched me.....watching him.


Its all turning to the yellows and orange tones of Autumn......the Mountain Ash berries are changing too


Well that,s it for today.............wont be long before we are back to bird watching instead of flowers.....not quite ready for that yet but I do miss my birds.
