Glory Be!

Wow, it took until Labor Day for this thing to bloom, but the flowers are spectacular!

Let's hope the frost holds off for a while.

The Green Beast

This exuberant climber is a morning glory plant that forgot to flower. That's our lamppost, by the way. Now that it's reached the top and then some, it's sending out tendrils in all directions -- beckoning like some creepy leaf monster wanting to ensnare you. It doesn't help that it's now way taller than Ray.

Last year's plant had such great blooms, and this one doesn't even have any buds. I can't figure it out.

I'm having to cut it back, just so the lamp can actually light the yard.

Baby Blueberries

These cute little blossoms are now juicy blueberries in our yard. I took this photo this past spring, and wanted to share it since not everyone knows what blueberry blossoms look like. I spent an hour or so picking berries on Saturday, and I'm hoping to have time to make my mom's cobbler recipe.
