  2. Wow - there is no missing that red! What a glorious flower!

    Your garden is so very kind to display just the right colours for July the 4th. And I hope you get lots and lots of juicy, delicious blueberries (as we both know these aren't loved by our kittycats - afraid I can't answer for dear Gizmo's taste).

    Sending bestest wishes to dear you, Mark, Amanda, Gizmo and Kitterz - what a magnificently blue sky is over you all just now!!!!

  3. Hi There, Just checking on you to see how you are doing. GREAT 4th of July post. Hope your summer is going well. We just got home (June) from a 3 week trip out west (Grand Canyon, etc.)... It was awesome...

    Have a great weekend, Elizabeth.
    Hugs,
    Betsy
