Golden Celebration 2011
July 1st, 2011.
One third of summer and half of the year 2011 has gone. Now we're facing even hotter weather the rest of this season before it gets cooler. We got quite a good rain yesterday, it sure gave a big relief to a lot of plants, and also humans, and animals. Our pet dog soaked up all the rain, laying on bermuda grass in the rain, until thunders and lightnings started to roar. Anyway, it's the 4th of July weekend. Enjoy, everyone!

The purple Echinaceae are starting to bloom. It is more drought and heat resistant than its 'cousin' Pow Wow White which is burnt and 'baked' now.
