It was beautiful. I took a shot of it on Monday and it rained that night. The next morning every single petal was on the ground. I guess it was spent and ready to shed.
The knock out roses are not doing great even with all of the rain. This single petal variety has just a few blooms on them.
My newest host is looking better after I tore out all of the invade creeping phlox. It struggled the entire last season and this season it is coming to life.I can see that I need to pull some grasses around it but that is not a problem compared to that invading phlox.
The young mourning dove just keep coming to the feeders. There must have been a couple of nests of thm as there are so many.
These two are just hanging around and seem to be like explorers. I am at the point that I want to put less seed out there as there are just too many birds out there. Sparrows just flock in large numbers as they two have lots of fledglings.
I planted many glads but this seems to be the only one that I will have this year. I mowed my neighbor's yard this morning trying to keep it looking good in case there are any people here to look at her house. I may hit it a second time Saturday just in the front to perk it up for a Sunday showing. We are waiting for a repairman today. It may be late today or maybe could even be tomorrow sometime. They were not a company that had fixed appointment times. It is not a great way to do business and yet I am so glad they can come to repair rather than us buying a new one. The sun is hot today and yet we aren't going to get so extremely hot. No rain today is a good thing. Thanks for stopping by today.
I see that the glad photo is a repeat showing. It does get to be complicated keep track of things.

Well, once you start feeding them, you gotta keep going. There are never too many birds around, in my opinion, anyway. Seed is not that expensive
Such a pretty rose! Stay cool!
