I hope the 7+" of rain we've had over the past few days kicks their butts into gear. :-)<br /><br />Last weekend we got a guy in to repair the driveway (damaged in the last big storm.) It started to rain on his second day, and shut him down on the third. But he got a lot done and it's still holding up, even though the pond filled up to the edge of the road.

Mine are nearly done for the year. Only the dwarf myrtle is still blooming.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-91175632152785534652016-08-18T09:20:50.153-05:002016-08-18T09:20:50.153-05:00My crepe myrtles are old--like almost 50 years old...My crepe myrtles are old--like almost 50 years old. Every CM bush/tree in the neighborhood blooms before mine. It's like my corner is its own micro ecosystem or something. They've been blooming a couple of weeks now but all the others were blooming by mid-July.<br /><br />Yeah for the frog! Glad she's home safe and sound.<br /><br />I've had lots of hummers at the feeder lately. I think they've come out because of the cooler weather. Got buzzed by one the other day when I was cleaning and refilling the birdbath. I heard the whirring, turned my head, and the little whizzer was right there in my face. She hovered, flew back to the feeder, drank, came back to hover, then took off. I figured she was saying thank you.<br /><br />The male hummer chasing the two+ females has been entertaining. Then I saw to two squirrels on the tree above their feeder. When I quit laughing, all I could say was, "Dude! Upside down clinging to treebark ain't sexy!"<br /><br />Must be the cool weather makin' 'em frisky...Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.com
