Sunday photo of the week June 21, 2026

 

Just one photo today.   I had car problems this week and in the heat, I nearly got heat stroke, so I stayed inside for 2 days after that.   This is my front yard garden from 2020 and it pretty much looks the same right now.   LOTS of black eyed Susans this year.

Sunday photos of the week

 I still have some flowers blooming out front.   I water them daily and keep an eye on them.

Cottonwoods and clouds~SkyWatch Friday, June 12, 2026

 One autumn, when we were both working, hubby and I took an extra 2 days off work and drove over to Oak Creek, AZ.   We wanted to see the fall colors and we weren't disappointed.   These cottonwoods were gorgeous and all of the oaks in Oak Creek had turned, too.   I'm glad we did it.   We don't travel much anymore.   SkyWatch Friday for June 12, 2026.   To visit SWF, follow this link:   Skywatch Friday

Flowers in my front garden

 I don't have many flowers now, mostly sunflowers out back, some cosmos, zinnias, and black eyed Susans out front.   July and August are BRUTAL here in the desert southwest and by August, everything is pretty much DONE.   Even the commercial farms let their acreage lie fallow during the first two weeks of August.   Nature takes a rest and we ALL just hunker down and try to survive!

I went out front yesterday morning, however, and took some photos of the flowers out front that I currently have.

Enjoy!

Just some pretty snapdragons to share today.

Thunderheads on the Rim~SkyWatch Friday

 Hubby and I used to drive up to the Mogollon Rim in Arizona during the summer monsoon months and rent a cabin for a week.  We both loved this time.  Thunderheads would form in the afternoons and then there would be a thunderstorm and rain...REAL RAIN!   It was wonderful to see, hear, and smell the wet earth.   Living in the desert, this was a real treat for us!
