Back Home in Rocky Mount

With all the e-mails about the hot weather in Missouri and rest of USA we expected to have BROWN when we arrived, but it was still quite green.  The tomato worms were very hungry and liked the offerings available in pots on the deck.   I hope we will get some good tomatoes in the near future.  Some of the smaller dogwoods in sheltered areas looked brown, but our greenery seems to have weathered the heat. 
View toward the cathedral.  Thanks, Carol, John, and Bob for putting up with a tricky electrical system and keeping the water flowing thru the sprinkler system.

The marigolds are still blooming.

Hostas in the shady part of the garden are looking very pretty.
Of course, the weeds did grow a tad, too!!
Carol has enjoyed a couple of sessions at the heated water excercise pool and I have returned to Eldon Food Pantry and Resale Store on Mondays and Habitat Restore on Tuesdays.  Once the tractor is back from the repair shop I will be able to reduce the washboard road that has developed down Dunnings Hill.  ttfn
