NOT ALL IS DOOM AND BLOOM.

The deers have been coming around to nibble on my beet tops the other night but haven't returned to pull my beets since I've been putting the Irish Spring soap around the gardens. I may get some beets after all.
The deers haven't touched any of my brassicas and I have a lot of Kale in my garden.  My husband is dehydrating some and I made some Kale soup today. It was delicious and he expects me to make some more in the near future.

Not everything is doom and gloom and now to share some of my blooms, here are some pictures for you to enjoy for now. I left many other daylilies out as my picture card is full in my camera.



A serendipity miniature sunflower that grew under the bird feeder. I thought of Rick Watson, a blogger friend who passed away just recently. This one is for you Rick. We miss you.


My daylilies are in full blooms now but I will take more photos later. This is enough for now.


These daylilies are called Toltec Dial. A prolific bloomer.

I'm taking a break from Blogger and social media entertainment until August 21 to take part in the David fasting with the Shalom Media group with special intentions to save humanity from the deadly plague of Covid-19, in reparation for the sins committed by us and our families, to strengthen all the evangelization efforts of bringing Jesus to the ends of the earth, to prepare the Catholic Church to embrace a new Pentecost.
This David fasting is led by Rev. Roy Varghese Palatty, CMI, spiritual director of Salom Media. I will be checking my blog for scam only.
Stay well and safe.
Hugs, Julia

  1. Taking a break can be good and I do hope all our prayers are being heard and this virus will run it's course and we can take all the good we've learned from this, throw away all the negative and move forward with more hope in Christ. Blessings to you Julia and thank you for the beauty of your flowers today!

  10. Your flowers are beautiful! They are so frilly and pretty and such vivid colours! I am glad that the deer seem to have been put off by the soap! I hope you get lots of beets! When you say the kale was dehydrated, does it go crispy?
    I hope that your break from social media and Blogger is fruitful for you spiritually.
