Ahhhhhhhh geeesh....too many posts for me to keep up, so i will hit the high spots. spent from thursday night to this morning with ethan...not sure which of us shed the most tears when he had to leave, but i will tell you that they left at 11, and by 11:30 i hit my pillows and slept till 4:30 this afternoon, i was that tired!!!! we had a wonderful time, and he was so so good. this morning's tears were the first ones i heard all weekend. what a kid!!!
will attach a photo or two....
now, to catch up with you....
Betty....the floor mat is wonderful, i love it, makes me want to do an entire floor. you do such interesting things, and so quickly! I can't keep up with you.

Beth, so terrible to see and accident happening and to be able to do nothing about it, Saw something similar years ago when a speeder ran into the back of a tractor, threw the man and the tractor straight up in the air, both came down on top of the speeding vehicle..killed both drivers.....was with a nurse friend, and by law she was required to stop......years ago, but still fresh in my mind. sorry you had to witness that, but it is good for the young man's family that you were there. Prayers for all of you.

Dyson....sorry to hear about the bees, didn't know that could happen. glad you did not get stung, my brother mowed over a nest of them once, and was stung badly, about 4 hours later, my dad had to rush him to the hospital because he was in shock...nearly lost him, so you be careful.

Starzz....OMG....what lovely gardens. I have probably around 50 daylilies, and i love them, but roses and i are simply not compatible....i keep trying, but they keep dying...i need to just simply give up and acknowledge that i am not a rose person. just stick to my daylilies. I have some lovely black ones, some with orange throats, some with mint green throats, and i think they are my favorites, but also have many many other colors. so i would have to say that the daylilies are my babies, but like betty, I have a mixture of everything else. but your grounds are wonderful, and i would love to someday take a stroll through them.

Laura, how terribly sad that you are having to go through this. not fair at all. No one deserves that kind of treatment. you are in my prayers for sure.

And tangie, i never tire of reading your posts and seeing your pictures.....what a lovely place you have. the glad is a great color, my favorite, and the butterfly and butterfly bush (with sunflower) really lift my spirits....nice that it is that time of year, my white butterfly bush is beside my drive, and some days I cannot get into my car for the butterflies around it.....so afraid one of them will fly in and get baked inside my car in this heat. I need to park somewhere else away from it, but s closest spot to the door, so there I stop.

Seedtosser.......the butterfly is lovely, my vote is for a soft orange center, then darker orange petals....would look like an old fashioned daylily, or maybe tiger lily then.......love it.....you are doing a great job!

Here's Ethan.........
