1st Zinnia of the Summer 2020

 I always look forward to the first zinnia of every summer, especially to see which color will bloom first - this year it is a beautiful pale pink!

A lot of other zinnias are just about to bloom, so the flower box will soon be full of color to the delight of hummingbirds and butterflies. And for the next few months we will have a vase of zinnias in our chapel/icon corner and possibly a few tiny vases of zinnias in the kitchen as well.

One of the first flowers to bloom this year was a dark red daylily, and now the double orange lilies are in full bloom, with the yellow ones just ready to bloom in a day or two.

We hope your days are full of color and beauty too!

Wish List Wednesday

Yes, here we are to Wednesday again, the best day for wishes, so Sister Mary asked me to write about our  Wish List . Canned cat food is right at the top of things we really need this week, and then paper towels, and horse treats (horse treats are not really a NEED, but the horses think they are, and we like to keep them happy!). Thank you for thinking of us. Love, Gus PS Sister Mary did not give me a puzzle for this message . . . please let us know if you want to have puzzles in the blog - I think they are a fun break to my reading and writing and sleeping and eating and playing, but I wonder if anyone else likes them too?

Baby chicks and diamonds in the tree

Our Board member Aimee Lauer brought four little chicks this morning - they were rescued from Craig's List. As far as we can tell, two Easter Eggers and two Legbars. This weekend is a strange mixture of weather - rain, wind, and sometimes moments of sun. The  sunlight in the tree  this morning made the wet leaves and branches look as though they were decorated with diamonds. We are hoping and praying that Hurricane Florence will miraculously weaken, although current maps show East Coast landfall and predictions are that the storm may be a category 4. Stay tuned . . .
