This Morning

It's August.   All the rain we've had has made the local flora explode even more than usual this year.   The fields are covered with Queen Anne's Lace, and rudbekias.   The ditches are full of figwort and false foxglove and campanulas and helenium.   It's spectacular.



Lily woke up to the fog this morning and grabbed the camera.   She snapped this perfect view of the exuberance of an August morning.

Hope your day is a fabulous one. 

Misty August Mornings

This is the season of change.    The heat has subsided a bit and the nights are cool.    We've had fires in the firepit and cooked our breakfast crepes on the grate over the firepit while cradling hot cups of chai and chocolate.

It is a blessed relief from the firey heat of summer. Now we pray for rain.

Lots of rain.

Lily got these pics one lovely cool morning. 

The spiders have been busy.   The webs with the zigzags are made by the Argiope. 

I love the spiral construction of this one.
