We had to make a trip to Memphis to see the Dermatology Doctor in Memphis. And children that we are, we each get a treat

The Bennie got Italian bread

Me love Marble Rye Not something we eat every day but (I could)

We had strong wind and heavy rain this morning, the garden is a mess and so is the yard. The sun is shining bright and hot now so it is time to get out and clean things up.
I took these photo's yesterday good thing. This is the white Cleome
that reseeded form last year.

The pink one from seeds that Darla sent at ( More family and flowers.)

The Vinca's that reseeds every year

and the white one

Today I have more of the flowers that Mildred at "Hollyberry House" sent me. Got to love that sweet lady, she has added much to my garden.
This creamy peach gracious Gladioli
Thank you Mildred

"I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh"

Acts 2: 17Dear Lord, sweeten my attitudes. May my life

breathe the fresh fragrance of your Spirit.

This is the( Blackberry Lily) many have said it is a new one to them. I had never seen this plant until Mildred over at Hollyberry House had it on a post two summers ago. The flower has more red spots in it sometimes enlarge to get a good look. She sent me seeds and one bulb I will not have bulbs to send yet but they are multiplying.

I will share with you this fall if you will g-mail me your address. The seeds do look like blackberrys.

The Gayfeather is starting to bloom and a Butterfly has found it.
The birds planted this pretty single Sunflower in the front garden.

always love to see the pink Coneflowers

the light yellow Hollyhocks

and The Bennie tomato's

My( Mildred) Blackberry lilies are in bloom all but one came up from seeds.
The Zinnias are starting to bloom

We had the Redhead Woodpecker come back this year.
