Love Ozone Alert (but then, it is a Burseen, so Whistling Whistling ). Beautiful shot of it Pam!

Trouble seems to be doing a real good job protecting his turf! Hilarious!

The recent rain and hot weather have things moving right along!

All three cats came out to keep me company in the garden tonight. The cooler temps had them all acting silly - stalking each other and pouncing through the plants. Good thing they didn't do any damage...this time. Barny , the kitten, got a stern lecture on what would happen if she broke any of the "new" stalks. ( I don't think she believed me...)

A few more ...

The Teeny Bopper has returned!

I have had La Scala 3 years too, and it's going to bloom this year for the first time, and has lots of bloom stems. All really nice ones!
