This weekend I looked out of the window into the side garden and saw two eyes peering at me. At first I thought it was a big cat, but a closer look found otherwise. This foxy fox was sound asleep under the elephant ears here on Fox Glenn Circle.

This year has to be our best garden yet !! Sometimes, I cannot wait to come home from work so I can walk through the yard and enjoy all the blooms. My favorite addition this year was the elephant ears. What a majestic addition to our front shade garden.

The other day when I came home from work I noticed this flower popping up in the middle of the jasmine. It was just lovely and I could not imagine how it got there. Anyway, I hope it comes up again next year !!

Although the yard held up well during the 100 degree heat, you can definitely see a difference now that the temperature has dropped below three digits and we got some much needed rain. What a lovely time of year.

This has been a very hot summer. Tomorrow it will be September 1st and it is still in the 90's. Our Lord Baltimore Hibiscus was beautiful this year. It bloomed over and over again with huge blooms of red color making our yard a tropical paradise.

Despite the heat our garden continues to amaze us.

This weekend our garden was in full bloom and busy with bees, butterflies, birds, lizards and blooms.

Can you see the butterfly on the tree trunk in the picture below?
