September 11 - Rain It was a fitting day to have rain and remember. September 12 - Mini Roses These are such small roses. They are no bigger than a silver dollar.

Dog Days of Summer. July 31 - Scissor Grinder Cicada Here in the midwest, you can hear them but you don't always see them. They are big and UGLY! This guy was still alive hanging on my parents' sun umbrella. August 1 - Purple Crown Vetch Right now this is everywhere. Little pink flowers atop... Continue Reading →
