Miraculous Red Gift

See how nice it looks with the daisies cut back?

Perhaps you missed seeing them four feet tall and laying down every-which-way after the thunderstorms a week ago.

And look closely, a clear spot of dirt in the garden with no weeds. I could only pull weeds today from 6am-8:15am when I got so hot, I thought it must be 11am ... time for a beer to cool off.

Was I disappointed. Hot, red-faced and sweaty like 11am on a normal weekend, but we are under a "heat advisory" so the heat got to me sooner - after only two hours of work!

I do draw the line. No beer at 8:15am.

But look what has volunteered from last year and the deer won't touch it - the celosia. I am going to have to go buy some more to add color to my garden before the Germans arrive on August 7th. I call it a gift from God, who must have known how discouraged I am getting with the abundant deer population right about now.
