Today at Iten's Acres: July 3, 2012

Today at Iten's Acres: Hot. Dry. Humid. Again. Teased by the hares. And the rain. Yesterday and today--thunder, lightning, rain all around me. Nary a drop here. Ahhh, well. Time to get the hauling muscles tuned up.
Lots of coneflowers--reds, pinks, greens (yes, green), and a couple yellows--prairie coneflowers with their yellow drooping Snoopy ears and Ozark coneflowers--yellow versions of their red, pink, green cousins. New lilies every day. The hollyhocks are about ready to join the decorations. And the cosmos. The lack of rain has kept them small, but still beautiful.
Neighbor lost two trees in the last storm. One huge hickory fell in his woods. "If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears . . . Never mind. The other one--a poplar--fell into his animals' pen. The goats just think Dennis is giving them a new food source. Ummmm. Tasty.
Need a dance Kathy.
