Howdy Hoe, Neighbors!

In the garden my favorite, burgundy daylily.And a double burgundy that I've had for about 5 years but never saw it bloom 'til now.A bird's eye view of one of our vegetable gardens. I got this close to this mourning dove with my camera. I must be livin' right, right? roflChocolate mint that I plan to sweeten with....
Stevia, a natural, non-caloric sweetener.
A baby cardinal...can you see the bit of red on its tail and wing?
I've been knittin' and crochetin', but nothin' picture worthy, yet...maybe next time...maybe. :)
Have a good, good week, Y'all!

    Oooo, the daylillies are so pretty! I love the colors.
    The garden is looking real good. I'm sure that you will have a bountiful harvest this season.
    The chocolate mint will be a great addition to any drink. Yum!

    Your double lily is fabulous :) Aren't you clever to grow your own natural sweetener!!! I'm curious...do you just use the leaves as is or do you do "something special" to them ?

    Beautiful Day Lily! The garden is lovely. Getting this close to a dove is a wonderful thing, a most peaceful and beautiful bird. Continue to enjoy a lovely week.

    Smiles...
