Sweaty Saturday....

This is still blooming but not in such large numbers anymore. It really likes tis weather and still  has lots of buds on it.

I have a couple of these still blooming but the  Japanese beetles chewed up most of them. I was out with hedge clippers and cut most of the rose back as the dead buds and spent buds needed to go. I was hoping that the beetles were going to gone but it   probably is the beginning of their season.  I may have to spray them ever day.

My two rabbits ate it all off to about two inches. It had all the blooms and foliage to fill them up good. I have kept it up on the deck to keep it away from my critters. I see the one rabbit out there once in a while. It has been slow to bloom but I decided that I needed to get it out into full sun.

So far I think it is always the same bird.  I will keep taking photos and maybe I can see a different on out there.  The red is not the birds color on its throat but it is the reflection on its white throat.

It is very humid out there. I watered my tomato patches as they keep growing taller. I started to cut back on my one large vine on a trellis. It took two times cutting with me taking a break in the middle of the job. I haven't cleaned up the mess but I can let it lay to die back before I haul it away in my truck. I think I will stay inside for the rest of the day. I hope everyone is doing well.  Stay cool, stay safe and stay inside. Thanks for stopping by today.
