I found quite a few interesting things on my walk this week. It all started on the front porch, where I found my new favorite flower, the Zinna. Here are a few pictures. See why they’re my new favorite flower? Then I actually left the porch, lol, and found a Rose bud in the Bible…
The weather has been cooler. Which is such a relief after our really hot and humid summer. It rained all day yesterday. A nice steady, soaking rain that is so good for the garden. It’s raining again today. This should really give our fall garden a good boost. Of course, all the rain means I…
