Thank you so much. I didn't have a chance to be in my garden tonight because I had to get groceries, cook supper, do dishes, do more dishes, and take out the trash. By the time I was done it was dark and I was bummed. You cheered me up. I enjoyed the tour through your garden. Wonderful photos!

I'm late getting here but none of the pictures faded, so you must be good. I love the closeup shots, I have got to get a better camera.

Love you lady, this is a great entry!

Love the tree frogs, and wow for the hummingbirds. I was waiting for mine this year, but none showed up. I have a chestnut tree that they come too ... Anna :)
