I still get my mail!!















I'm surprised the mailman still delivers my mail. I dumped a few morning glory seeds in the planter box next to the mailbox this spring and voila, now we have a "cousin it" plant!!











I didn't purchase any annuals for the flower beds this spring. I worked fresh compost into the soil and decided to let it rest for a season. We installed a soaker hose for the beds, attached it to our sprinkler system and left it. I promise you, where you see a mass of flowers now, the soil was bare!! The white flowers (actually pink in person) are annuals (vincas). I planted Vincas last year and they must've reseeded themselves. The Torenia (purple and blue) is also an annual but I planted it 2 years ago and it also reseeded itself!! I was amazed. I don't think it would've looked this good had I planted them myself!!

"Queen Cynthia Midas & The Golden Touch" (newly discovered Greek myth) - Queen Cynthia Midas wants more and more gold, and is finally granted her wish: Everything she touches will turn to gold - The Midas touch! she is ecstatic, as even the flowers become gold under her powerful touch. Unfortunately, when Queen Cynthia Midas touches her daughter she turns into a gold statue, and it is at that moment she realizes that all the gold in the world does not compare to her daughter or her love. But she's still having troubles getting it to work on the King. No seriously, the only reason my flower beds are alive is because I have a sprinkler system. All my potted plants are crispy dead.
