With our temps being so hot this summer I am trying to keep
water in my bird bath and keeping flowers watered just to keep it cool for them
This bluejay is checking out my duck decoy
notice the wimpy flowers...usually they are really tall and full by this time of year
but this year no matter how much water you put on them they are wilted by afternoon
I was ask by my friend who lives in Virginia about the names of
wildflowers pictures I post...
I'm ashamed to say I don't know the names most of the time
We both love to take and share our pictures
and She ALWAYS knows the names of her flowers
so I thot maybe
I need to learn more about mine
THX Vi

Wooly Verbena...Bush Morning Glory...Prickly Poppy...Sunflower
We took another drive today
Went up thru Haven and Yoder and around Cheney Lake
Its hard to believe as hot and dry as it is that
there are still beautiful wild flowers and weeds blooming
Saw bunches of Gold Finch some Buzzards
Was a Fun Day
We had cabin fever this afternoon so decided to take a short drive
The temperature stayed right on 109 most of the time
but once I looked up and it jumped to 113
We drove south of town to the Ninnescah River
It is sure dry but we saw alot of Gar and Carp and a few Egrets
Even as dry as it is the river still looked pretty
Ethan spent the day and over nite
WHAT FUN
First we made him a reversible apron and he did alot of the sewing himself
one side is camo and the other KU
then he helped me sort my thread
Then this morning we went to a booksale and came home with a chinese hat
a farmers market where we bought fresh carrots and then to Walmart
Grandpa and Ethan played BeyBlades
His request for supper was Meatloaf and Pumpkin Pie
