Wouldn't personally have one by choice again ......<br /><br />We are supposed to have rain mid week, and I do hope that will be so.

Nature responds to the rains, winds and temperatures. <br />Your gardens are teeming with life.<br /> We are witnesses and stewards. I love the way you honor your garden.<br />I also have been watching the bees. My bee box is filled for next year. The bees could use another. <br />Summer is here on the Tallgrass Prairie....I am inside by noon. <br />Thank you for opening your garden gate...welcoming weary travelers to heaven on earth.
