This a wildflower called,"soapwort". It grows along roadsides. It supposedly will soap up if you crush it and rub it in your hands. I've not tried it. Very pretty though. Not too many really pink flowers out there.

Turtleheads

They look like turtle heads! They multiply well too. I have them all over my gardens.

Mellow Yellow Monday

This is a "Yellow Lady's Slipper". It is one of this country's true orchids.
It grows in the wild and is on the endangered list. We have 2 growing naturally on our place and about 200 that were saved when an area was clear cut. They are truly remarkable.

Enjoy!

These are some clouds I have photographed over the last 7 months. We have had some amazing clouds this year. I just love them. There are more posted on my photography blog on www.marrsphotography.blogspot.com

My okra plants have finally taken off. I have 4 rows and they need picking just about every day. I have a great recipe for canning them so they taste just like fresh picked okra when I fry them. I have regular clemson spineless and burgandy okra.

Strange sight

This dirt dauber has a mud nest going up on the door into my basement. I never tear their nests down. They dispose of spiders. They catch them live, put them into the mud tunnel with the young dauber larve to eat. This one was having a bit of trouble getting this one up the door facing. The spider was a chubby one!

Bad Day!!

My dingy dog found a rabbits nest in the front field in front of my house. She crippled one killed one in the nest and injured one. I brought the injured one in but
I knew it was not good. I wrapped the little thing in a cloth and held it so it wouldn't die alone. Took about 10 minutes.

I have never wanted to strangle a dog more than I did today. This dog is kind of crazy. She loves to kill and eat things. I don't know why she just "killed" these little creatures. I don't like her at all right now.

I have the one she crippled. It doesn't have any use of it's back legs. But, 'Bootie" is doing well. I don't know if it is he or she, but for now, I will call it, she.

She loves lettuce from my garden and apples. She seems to be doing good except she can't walk.
I will make her a large cage and she will have a safe place to live out her days with us.
