    I'll try this again. I blew myself away before. I took some flower pictures this morning. I have more things blooming but can't post it all. Dooley
    Some pansies still blooming.

    Wonderful collection for the day Dooley. The geranium arrangement is striking, the sundial helps too. Is Chance still helping you out in the yard?

    Those dianthus must smell heavenly Dooley. They're such colourful and pretty little flowers aren't they? I really like the blue and white pansies you have as blue is a favourite colour of mine. I also love the Mexican primrose - such a delicate shade of pink. Your garden is certainly looking beautiful at the moment. :-D

    My garden is looking beautiful because I carefully screened out the weeds and grass that is growing in everything. I was going to deadhead the african daisies today but I think it will wait a day or two. I worked to hard last night. They took away a person and put her on days so now we have to shelve and watch the check out and check in so we really travel on busy days. I'm glad Gloria is only 22. She moves easier than I do now.

    Chance still helps, except when I'm watering. Then, she disappears. She isn't at all fond of water. Some dogs love it. Yesterday when I was trying to get a picture of the orioles, she came and chased it away. She thinks one of her chores is keeping birds out of the yard. She would keep them out of the garden, too, except she would do more damage with her big feet than the birds do with their little mouth. Dooley
