Love the deep mahogany sunflowers!
And we have squash! Tons of summer squash and zucchini. We grill it nearly every night. Yum!!!
Roscoe likes his snap beans. Always trying to steal any that hang over the fence.
Gimme, gimme, gimme..............
It's been hot. Hot enough that the farmers are now irrigating from the farm ponds. Which means the ponds are low and icky. You would think we had enough rain, there are still some hay fields the tractors can't get into, but the pond is low and slimy. Always is this time of year. Our walk yesterday brought us into a fine mist from the irrigation pumps. The HUGE jets spray water over the corn powered by the tractor sucking water from the pond. You might think........"How refreshing!".........which I actually did and voiced to Kathy, who quickly said........."Ewwww, you know where that water comes from!!!!".........and she was right, it even smelled icky!!! Ewwwwwwww some more............... So instead of farm pond swims my dogs have to make do with my kiddie pool. Yesterday as the temps hit nearly 90, I decided to haul out Colby's pool I used when she was rehabbing from knee surgery. It's big enough I can even plop in and float on a float. It felt GREAT today after doing a bunch of mowing. I set it up on the patio, so most of it is in the shade and I just enjoy the cool water and refresh after some hot, dusty mowing. The dogs all enjoyed it!!!
Roscoe figured out how to climb onto the float...........
After getting wet he has to try to roll-dry...........
And then sun himself dry on HIS chaise lounge.
Drying himself like a cat with his tongue? He's special.......
I can't leave out Mr. Jones, who enjoyed his pool time, but dried himself in the cool shade watching the horses graze. Life is good for Mr. Jones. His housemates are stuck in a kennel, while he lives at the pool house with his cabana girl to fan him off and bring him snacks. Lucky man!
Black Eyed Susan's, Russian Sage and purple Monk's Hood. Life is good..........
Thousand Belles............
My thriving garden!!!! Finally!!

What a tough life. Gardening, playing in the pool and then sitting in front of the fan. Where is the maid with dinner?
