This One's for the Girls!

In honor of my new niece Jacqueline, born exactly 1 week ago today.

And for my not-as-new-but-still-pretty-darn-new niece Dorothy who is now about 9 months old and was the youngest person in attendance at my wedding.

Enjoy the flower, girls, while I try to think of something manly for your new cousin (and my new nephew) who is also new to this world. Perhaps some good bug pictures?

It'd be a nice departure from all the flower pictures of late. I just can't stop myself. They are all so pretty!

A Bloom Before We Go

Adam and I will both be out of town for the next few days. He is off to the Audobon Society Camp to be a counselor in (what else?) entomology.

I am off to Nashville to welcome my new niece or nephew into the world.

Our garden treated us to several zinnia blooms before we left. We treated it to a good hours-worth of sprinkler time to keep it nice and wet through the weekend.

We have Growth!

We have potatoes...

...and radishes...

...and peppers...and a pepper blossom...

...and corn...

...and corn n' beans...

...and okra...

...and collards...

...and wildflowers and zinnias!
