Here are the sad little faces that watched from indoors as the Bad Mom walked around the gardens snapping pictures (WITHOUT them!!).

"The bunnies did that, not me!"
" Hey Mom, look I can roll my tongue."
"This shouldn't happen to a dog!"

The gardens are lush and beautiful today. We've had little rain, but have been watering a lot. I posted so many day lilies last week that none are included today. Right now the phlox are coming into their own in the back garden. They are "wild" - meaning I didn't plant them - but they were here when we moved in.






These are some "tame" ones.
