Blooming Flowers

We finally got a break from the heat and humidity. It’s only been in the 80’s the last two days, with a breeze! It feels like fall already. But I can’t be fooled. I know we have at least 2 months of hot weather before it cools down for fall. We have enjoyed the last couple days though!

Here’s a Morning Glory I found growing on a cedar tree.

I finally got some blooms on the flowers on the front porch.

A very pretty pink flower. I’m pretty sure this is a Cosmos, but the plant take disappeared.  Unfortunately, this pretty pink flower met a horrible death in a laser sword fight.

Here’s it’s pretty pink self in the house in a glass bottle brightening my house. I have to say, I almost cried when my son brought it to me. Yeah, the some son who had wielded the laser sword.

Someone said in the comments that this wasn’t Cosmos, that it was a Zinnia.

End of edit…..


My daughter trimmed the big, white butterfly bush for me. It only had a couple of blooms left on it.

She did a good job trimming all the branches she could reach.

My husband finished the top part when he got home. I’m told it will bloom again this year after trimming. This is the first year we are trying it.
