Since I have spent most of my evening hours watering through the current drought, I have been neglecting my online space! It is so dry my yard has fissures. Yes, fissures, not just measly little cracks. Argh. Sorry, lawn, you're on your own. I know you'll be back regardless, but the trees, shrubs, flowers, and veggies not so much. They get the attention.
Meanwhile, the poison ivy is doing just fine with no help from me. Wish I'd seen it before I yanked out the one next to this. I think I caught it in time, washed with Tecnu, hoping to avoid the rash this time...
The hummers are great fun to watch. Most of the time there is only one at my feeder. When two are feeding together, it is a male and one of his ladies. Seems they are very territorial creatures, and a male will guard a given feeder for himself and his family only. I have seen a couple of males fighting here with some regularity. They are very scrappy!
Not sure what this pretty little white flower is. It is on a vine. I saw a huge, huge stand of it near the Buddy Walk path today. Covering a big pergola. So, maybe it is something worth encouraging?
The cosmos volunteered this year. So, they get some water :)
Second crop of cilantro. Seems like it is happy in this pot. So, that's where I will plant it from now on!
