  4. Loveliness! The path steps are wonderful. How is your rain situation? We received quite a bit recently, but now there's next to no rain in the forecast for the next 10 days. So challenging!

    1. Funny you should ask. All was getting very dry. Have been spending hours watering the garden areas. However this morning at 7:30 we had just over 1/2 inch of rain. came down very hard. The plants and I are very happy!

  6. Those storm clouds look so scary but also majestic at the same time. Love those flowers.

  7. Beautiful! Persian Coneflower (Centaurea dealbata), Latin names are easier to identify flora or animals, because in each country or geographical area the vulgar (common) names are different.

    1. Angel, you are correct. The Latin names are much better for being exact. However I notice that so many people use the common names here that I thought it best to say with those common names.
