Hot, Hot, Hot.

I set in some annuals to fill in the empty spaces in the perennial border. The torenia was awful. You couldn't really see the flowers and the plant died out after s couple of weeks. I just love the miniature zinnias. I see a few butterflies checking them out every now and then. The zebras are back. I hadn't seen them for quite awhile. They like to flitter about in the shade. I redid their favorite spot and it became too sunny for their tastes. They managed to find another nice corner to play in. Four kinds of doves beg for food at my house: mourning doves (my favorites), rock doves (ugh, but I'm warming up to them), ringed collar doves, and one white winged dove. A pair of blue jays take turns while the other one minds the nest.

It is really really hot. The perfect conditions for the hurricane that's heading my way. The rain comes and goes, stormy weather, then a week without rain. Right now, it's rainy, muggy, and really hot (I know that I am repeating myself, but it's late.)
