State fair is starting August 11th and I am looking forward to that. This is a picture of the back of the grandstand at the fair grounds. It was recently restored and seems to be holding up well.
There is a daylily show at the arboretum this weekend. For some reason they switched it to a Sunday event instead of a Saturday one. Well, I don't really need any more plants but it is fun to see what is out there that I don't have. We should have obligations on Sunday and our kids are driving through during that time too. We will miss that traditional summer event this year.
The last of the coneflowers are holding up in the heat. I want to investigate what kind of coneflower that is growing along the roadways as it seems a much darker color than mine. I guess the darker one is the true prairie plant.
We had an early morning rain and mild thunderstorms but it is going to warm up fast. Dipping into the seventies is nice but it hasn't lasted over a few hours until the sun starts to shine and we will be back up there again.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

What a beautiful grandstand at the Fair Grounds.
I am glad it's almost August, although we won't see any really cooler temps until Oct/Nov.
Have a great weekend ~ FlowerLady
