In Bloom

A member of the daisy family,

 drought-tolerant,

cheery fall colors,

and good for what ails you...

Echinacea, more commonly known as purple coneflower.

Happy August!

See you in August

I will be away from the blog for a few weeks...

tending, weeding, and watering a few other projects.

A Happy Fourth

Hope a wonderful Independence Day celebration was had by all! Many grateful thanks to all our military families.

Blackberry pickin'... on the creek.

The reward for a short, early morning paddle:

 a plateful of ebony jewels.
