         • everyone is complaining about the heat, but this is the most mild summer I can remember. I’m used to it being in the hundreds this time of year

2. I like the blooms embedded in your post.

4. Great pictures and great quotes!

   One of the things the twins complain about (constantly) is walking outdoors. They always ask why we have to walk outside every day.

   I remind them that their dog needs to exercise!!!!!

   But more importantly that we all need to be outside.

   Stunning flowers!

   • Thank you Doc.
     lol poor kids, having to go outside.. good comeback. Dogs do need to get out. Couldn’t argue with that one could they.

     • they could not. It was the agreement made to add a dog they were responsible for. Must be walked. Must be fed. Must be cleaned up after!

       • I remember those lessons as a child, always having cats dogs, birds, hamsters… also handing them down to my two. They had two wolves, and a grey cat they had to take care of.

         • I’ve seen the care you give your dogs. Forcing them on fun walks. Making them swim in fun water.

           hum

   • Thank you Carol. No worries on the individuals. I was able to collect a bunch more seeds too. Each flower will have about 20 seeds. It has bloomed a month already.
