After a few days of torrential rain, today was beautiful. I saw my first sunflower bloom at coffee time.
Just for perspective: The lowest finger points to the sunflower bloom pictured above. The finger above it points to the birdhouse gourds that are happily climbing every tree in sight. The finger in the top left points to the sunflower blooms (nearly 8 feet) that are in the near future.
My little darling Waxwing greeted me at dawn with his silent welcome. Even though I have studied their sounds online, I have yet to hear them. The nest withstood the heavy rains. For that I am thankful. It’s all right (do do do do do do dododododo).

I never tried birdhouse gourds… They look amazing!! Next year maybe I can find some room for them. They are really cool

Another Grand Experiment, Cynthia – I’m sure I’ll be blogging about them. They are growing great – I started them up a trellis & they climbed every tree and bush in sight – better than all over the ground and attacking my tomatoes.

I like the pics and admire the technical prowess 🙂

Thank you Derrick. Not technical prowess so much as an architect daughter who gave me her old copy of Photoshop. What a grand toy!
