The boys are coming to town…
Rumor has it that 20 + males are hitting Vegas this weekend for our oldest’s bachelor party. I’m not sure Vegas is ready for them.
I’m sure they’ll be okay….and not cause much trouble…she said, hopefully.
they look innocent enough
Kinda…
I’m not sure how these little boys got to the grown up stage
They grow up so quickly…
But can I just say…what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…I’m sure this mama doesn’t want to hear about 99% of the stuff that will go on this weekend. Stay safe. Be good. Have fun. (in that order…)

Seriously, I can’t remember a summer this hot for so many days in a row, and this dry. Dry. Dry. We haven’t had any significant rain since before we started building our house at the beginning of May. We’ve lost a few trees, some bushes…our yard is a joke. No tomatoes. My lilac that finally bloomed doesn’t look very good…
But I’m always surprised at the survivors. The flowers that weather the drought.
A few zinnias have survived where all the other flowers in the garden have succumbed to the heat and drought.
A few random flowers that I don’t even like have survived…but that’s another story….
This pale zinnia with its hint of lilac is so pretty, braving it’s way up between a lot of burned out foliage.
Well, we all do whatever it takes to survive the heat and the dry weather, now don’t we?
So how are your flowers and gardens surviving this summer? And what are you doing to survive the heat??

I just want to show you this green pepper while I can…
Isn’t she pretty? Well, green peppers don’t agree with SuperGuy, but I thought I’d grow some for me…’cause I love them. So, of course I took this pretty picture of the pepper. Then waited a week to pick it. Yup. A bit rotted on the bottom a week later, doggoneit! ..but I’m still going to stuff it and eat gosh darn it!!! I’m not going to let it go the way of my green beans!!! The deer stripped the green beans clean the next day.
Yes, I’m detecting a trend. Photograph something in the garden and it’s gone or ruined in a few days… I could leave my camera inside when I go check the garden…maybe….
