The last week of July, and it's too hot to sit outside, but the deck still looks beautiful. The rail pots are finally starting to fill out. They must like the triple-digit temps.

Haven't left a comment here in a long time. Glad to see your flowers doing so well at the end of July. The first week of August has me moving pots to the shade as they cannot survive in the Texas heat.
I love all that you shared about the robins in a previous post. The color of the eggs is just stunning, and I do remember the doves in a previous year.
Hope all is well in Kansas!

Hi Kathy! I'm just now getting around to seeing your comment! Thanks so much for stopping by. I've been lax about posting, but things are beautiful around here after some wonderful rain. I'll have to post some updates!
