Summer's Heat Returns

Angelonia

Straw flowers - perfect for bouquet or dried arrangements.

White gomphrena

Our tri-colored chrysanthemums beginning to bloom.  Autumn must be right around the corner.

Golden raspberries - sweet.

Pump-ke-mon decorative pumpkins. I love their stripes!

Wild flowers along the hoophouse.

Gourds growing

I can smell the honey!  Time to harvest - yet the thought of dressing up in a bee suit with heat indices over 100 degrees - well, it is just not going to happen.  The honey and bees will have to wait.

Tom turkey strutting his stuff.

Afternoon pecking 

Golden rod.

Kitties in a box.

Even more tri-colored mums.
