Red * White * Blue

In Memory of Those Served

Saturday morning flowers

This beautiful epiphyllum for many years belonged to my mother.  I had given it to her for a birthday. It then belonged to her best friend my "uncle", Lee. He kept it going for many years and gave it me when I bought my first condo in the 00's.

It first flowered for me the first spring I "owned' it, on my birthday!  I love the coincidence; it makes me smile.

My German Butterball potatoes are getting much closer to harvest time.  There are just coming into full flower.

Sunday, Sunday

So good to me... Beautiful day.  I couldn't actually see the solar eclipse but the quality and intensity of sunlight changed quite dramatically.  Quite an experience. 

My squash seeds broke out into the light today. Today I have zucchini and winter squash.  I also planted a short rows of cucumbers, carrots, fennel, lettuce and dill.

My Sweetheart finished the pad for the small table and chairs outside the kitchen today. Love to sit there in the shade on a warm day - or in the sun on a cool day.

It was a beautiful day today. Here's some of our beautiful flowers:

Hens and Chickens

Pelargonium back lit by the eclipsed sun,

Love the blue in lobelia!
