Bloom Day, Pugs, and Fishes

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 fish swam up to greet me thinking I had food - very similar to the pugs.

*********************************
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.



Notice these are all look a little like the roadside phlox.



These are some "tame" ones.
