Poor Peach Tree!

This was my beautiful peach tree that I received from Pop and Barb at Christmas!

This is the result of my 14-year-old using the string trimmer around it! I hadn't gotten around to killing the grass and mulching it yet! Shame on me.

Since the damage to the bark was completely around the tree, this is what our County Extension Agent suggested I do. OUCH! Theoretically, it should sprout out again. I think the damage is above the graft. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

A few flowers!

A few flowers seems to be all that is left in my yard. The number of blooms is diminishing with the stifling heat and no rain! As much as I love gardening, the heat is keeping me indoors most of the day. Above is my shrimp plant. I got my start from my Mom's shrimp plant.

This is a Desert Rose. It was a gift from a good friend. It is a potted plant. I think I am hooked and want more colors. I have also heard that you can graft several different colors of plants to one main plant. That sounds awesome. Has anyone ever tried it?

I was told that this plant is called a Night Blooming Cereus. I took this photo shortly after sunrise.

The cactus looking plant is the Night Blooming Cereus. It is definitely strange looking.

My guys or a T-shirt Ad?

Hmmm, what is today? Wednesday? Already? This was taken on Father's Day. Boy am I behind. Here in this photo, we have Coca-Cola, This Dad Rocks and Hurley otherwise known as Dustin, David and Brian. The first one is pretty much whatever is clean, the second one is VERY partial to black t-shirts and likes skulls, the last one loves anything Hurley, hence the cap, shirt and belt.
I have been staying busy-weeding and watering,doing laundry, cleaning, errands and sewing. I am working on Casserole Totes for my Bunco prizes. I hope to take some photos and do a tutorial in a few days. I've also been working on learning some of the clogging dances on the Texas Dance list. So far I've learned the dances to the songs, Amos Moses (Jerry Reed) and Bad Moon Risin' (Creedance Clearwater Revival). After I learn them, we work on them in our clogging group, along with practicing dances we've already learned.
Ya'll Come Back!
