I am grateful for...

Between the front door and the mailbox, here's what I found to be grateful for this morning:
Four-o'clocks, still "awake" at 8 a.m.
A bumper crop of basil, enough for pesto once a week!

Desert four-o'clocks, a little drowsy at 8 a.m.
Morning-glory* covered mailbox

*NOT to be confused with field bindweed, sometimes referred to as "morning glory." Lyrics to field-bindweed-hating song available upon request.


Bumper crop of elderberries, to become jam within the next 48 hours.



Bluebeard bottlebrush

Butterfly bush

Wild sunflowers 







Coming attractions: sedum blooming in the next couple of weeks. It likes to prolong the anticipation.
