Saw the monster deer again. It was not my imagination. Huge. He crossed in front of me as I was driving down the driveway. He was coming from the woods across from Aaron's and heading for the thicket on Dennis' property. Fortunately, I repressed my instincts and didn't try to run him over. I wonder how my insurance company would respond: "Wrecked my car by running into a deer. On my driveway. On purpose." Ahhh, self-control. He stopped and hid behind a willow. Actually, it's kind of amazing that he could "disappear" behind a willow tree. If I hadn't seen him stop there, I doubt if I would have noticed him huge as he is. I chased him into the thicket. Never let a hungry deer hide.
The star wildflower right now is the iron weed. Gorgeous, deep purple. Tall. Have about 50 of them gracing the Acres. Coneflowers are still hanging around. In a couple of weeks or so, the wild area will be gorgeous with hundreds upon hundreds of asters and golden rod. Waves of purple and yellow in the ever blowing country breezes. Tame flowers? A couple lilies still hanging around, myriad hibiscus, a dozen or so Rose of Sharon, lots of morning glories of various colors, cardinal flowers are starting to bloom, and the planters (50 or so) are at their peak--filled with a variety of annuals. A million phlox. Tall, gorgeous, aromatic. Everybody should have some! All the flowers the hummingbirds love. They should be full whenever they decide to head South.
Rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
