Dragonflies, Sunflowers and Zucchini

Now I know if I want to have pictures on the blog I'll have to pay for them. Checking into other options.
Use your imaginations some more.
There was a dragonfly hatch today and we were showered with hundreds of rainbow colored beauties.
Many sunflowers have acknowledged summer and have bloomed. The little birds who love their leaves have left enough for the flowers to explode with their vibrancy.
And what would summer be without those prolific green veggies? We now have a basket full of zucchinis. Had some for dinner. Mmmmm.
The garden has gone wild again. We have a Darwinian theory that it is the survival of the fittest. Several fit fellows have taken over. Lots of tomatoes, not yet ripe and even an eggplant or two.
Had a nice visit with a new friend today. See you Tues., Kelly.
Jim got a truckload of hay (2 days worth) and will go back with the trailer soon.
I visited friends Lin and Darell. Sparkle, Ruby, Bobbie and Jesse are fat and shiny there. They have some pasture and lots of good hay. Foster parents are wonderful. Lin had an unexpected visit to the hospital and I did a little ironing for her. Feel better soon, Lin.
Last night I sprayed Juan and Callie's legs with fly spray. Nothing seems to do much good. I wrapped Juan's legs with vet wrap to keep the flies away for a while. He was appreciative.
Don't forget to visit our website http://homeatlastsanctuary.webs.com and see us on FaceBook under Donna Kyle.
Have lots of unexplained, itchy bites. Jim keeps saying "bedbugs," but they aren't. Maybe a wild and wayward spider is loose. Anyway they itch and they are not all in scratchable places. Maybe I'll go out with the horses and find a good branch to rub on.
We are boycotting Subway and Nike because they have Michale Vick as their spokesperson. No way does Home At Last support anyone who has harmed animals.
Love this cooler weather. How about you?
