Well, it's August already.  Almost time to go back to work.  Haven't done anything in the garden this year.  It's been so blasted hot and humid, you can't stand being outside for long.  Haven't had any rain that amounts to much.  The grass looks like a hay field.  Have been watering the tomatoes and peppers every day to keep them alive.  Even the little stick things growing in the grass have quit growing.  Just waiting for Fall to come along.  Have some major plans for my garden this year.  Most of my flowers need to be moved.  Some need to be replaced and need to add some new ones.  Have been getting catalogs from all over to get some ideas of what I want to add to the garden.

My Seven Sisters rose bush, it was looking like it died this spring.  Trimmed it up and put some new mulch around it.  It has grown like crazy.  Haven't even watered it.  Just what rain we have had is all the water it has been getting.  And it is still growing.  pretty hardy if you ask me!!

Well, that's it for now.  I'll pop back in and add some more later.
