Day 172...Around Town
Day 172
Mark and I took off for a couple of hours this afternoon for lunch
and made some stops around the city for some photos too!
I'm glad he felt back to his old self today...
Yesterday was a real "trip," to say the least...
Poor guy...at least I now know he does not do well with anesthesia but
he sure did provide me with enough entertaining moments that I now have stories to tell...
I know, amusement and laughter at his expense...I'm bad!
First stop...Lunch at La Sala's...Mmmm
Railroad bridge over the MO River
A couple of sights to behold!! Yard art anyone?
These were taken in the West Bottoms
Cool old building with graffiti

Day 171
Boy am I glad I went out early this morning to catch a shot of the final Hardy Hibiscus
that bloomed...final color that is. As it turns out, this was my only shot taken today.
It was a surprisingly busy, hectic day.
I thought I'd have time to go out and about looking for a photo
but Mark ended up having some
but Mark ended up having some
unexpected side affects from anesthesia when he got a tooth pulled...
Poor guy was sick as a dog, fell down (or out of the car) in the garage when we got home. I'm not sure which. I just know I turned around and he was on the garage floor
(thank God he didn't hurt himself)
(thank God he didn't hurt himself)
Anyway, he felt really crummy for the rest of the day and
I spent the rest of my day making sure he didn't do anything else to hurt himself.
I pretty much stayed by his side till I tucked him in bed a couple of hours ago...:)
Here's the solo photo I snapped this morning while outside having coffee!
Since all the Hibiscus plants were pulled out years ago, I wasn't sure what colors I had growing back this year when three separate plants sprouted up...Now I know!
I have this all White one, a White with Red center and a Pink one too!
They're sooo pretty!
Day 170...Some Beauty Survives
Day 170
Going along with yesterdays post, I have another victim of this scorching hot summer
but some flowers have fared well for the most part
and still show their beauty despite the wicked heat!

I really, really love Sunflowers and this little one in particular!!!
Looking at this Sunflower reminded me how it feels when the wind blows
my hair across my face from one side to the other.
Like when your driving in the car with the windows down!

I have a love/hate relationship with that feeling! lolol
This Hardy Hibiscus is all rolled up and ready for nighty, night!
Another Summer love of mine...Brown-Eyed Susans... :)
My Magnolia tree is definitely showing signs of distress from the horrible heat...:(
Day 169...Summer Sun Scorch...:(
Day 169
Although I love the warm weather and would take 105* over anything below 50*
I must admit it's sad to see my flowers burn up under the
stress of the scorching summer sun.
Watered daily, they will live and new life shines through...
But the effects of the scorching hot sun can clearly be seen.
this burnt little baby is surrounded by fresh blooms...Hope!
This Zinnia variety really took a hard hit...
Odd though, it's a variety mix of colors and the only ones that burned up
were the Orange ones...interesting.
Day 168..."Winey" Grapes
Day 168
Went out to the winery this evening and decided to check out the grapes while I was there.
they look so delicate ... it's hard to believe they become that "yummy stuff" in the bottle...:)
