Wonderful garden pics. Everything looks SO good. and I see you have golden ladybugs instead of the red variety. Always a welcome visitor to the garden as well as the praying mantis. Ruby was chasing a bumblebee from the feeder, it was funny to watch.

Hi Sweet Chris, your sunflowers r looking awesome and so r your other plants. That is great u r growing grapes. That is a neat thing to grow. Garden cat is so cute. That is so cute that Hunter wants to go to school with Mikey. Is he going to preschool? He might be ready.? I remember my mom telling me when I went to Kindergarten and took the school bus to school my younger brother wanted to go to school too. Soon Hunter will be off to Kindergarten. I am glad u all had a nice day and that is great you had some phone calls and iced drinks. I hope u all have a nice evening. You r doing great with your garden. It looks beautiful. I really like the sunflowers. They r awesome plants/flowers. I'd like to grow one too but I am not sure where we could grow one. Hugs & love.
