I spent some time taking photos today (high noon – not the best time for photos but the best time for a break!)
This is a balloon flower I’m assuming..
My cypress vine at my well. The metal climber was given to me by my aunt and I purchased the welcome sign. The mini lantern in the background was a gift from my daughter. Around the well are also: quinoa, barley, dill, and am.. am.. I forget the name. The cypress vine was a “seed exchange” item. LOVE IT> thank you.
and here is a pix of the cypress vine flower
Here are a couple pictures of our first fire pit. We don’t use it any more, now that we have company for our bonfires all the time. It is now located under our old basketball net. I think I’ve shown you a picture of the buddha head before. The rocks are from a pond/ waterfall someone took down. 
I think that is enough for this blog—people with dial-up are probably already skipping it.

Very pretty, MsDeb. Would that by any chance be amaranth in amongst your other grains?
Lovin the garden around the old firepit/b-ball hoop!

Thanks JR. :)
