Nope. Unless you think 80 is hot
I'm looking for a cooler day to get some yard work done. Supposed to be a high around 84 with a better chance for storms this afternoon.
...but right now is coffee time. Oh how ILOVENEED coffee.

Just because you can
Then put a humidifier and dehumidifier in the same room and let them fight it out.Quote:

Reba had a tough time having to be on leash all the time.
We were graced by a visit to the lake for dinner by a bull moose.
He appeared to be surprised that so many people were around. He was hesitant when he first arrived but soon decided he didn't care and waded into the lake to feed along the shore.
Reba of course started raising hell at his presence and had to be taken to the truck so as not to ruin moment or garner to much of his attention or ire.
He was on the other side of lake which is only 50yds wide at that point. Would only take him a few moments to swim across.
Facing down a mad bull moose with a GSD pup is not on my vacation list of to do's.
Yeah, you did the right thing pulling her out. Don't want a harassment of wildlife ticket or something.
Am sure the other campers/hikers/fishermen were happy when we hooked onto the travel trailer to head out.
Reba was a bit of a challenge for everyone while we were there. Everybody was good natured and helped with her socialization training but you could tell after 4 days they were glad to see us go.
CN you know what this flower is? Neighbor was asking and I knew it was a bush.

The leaf reminds me of a salvia, the flower a little less so but I don't think that's right. Do you have a larger picture of the plant?Quote:

Russian Sage perhaps?

I think my first guess is incorrect, however, I am curious if someone could shed light on the variety you have. I'm interested in attracting pollinators and helping them out if I can.

How far along on the truck? I still have a dead sports car up on jack stands in my garage.
range 30, yeah!
Could the plant be Catmint? I think the leaves may be too narrow for that.
Hard to tell without a clear shot of the leaf shape. Maybe a pic between a blurry bee and 10 feet away?
Heh, yeah the 10 feet away one was pretty bad.Quote:

Salvia is also a Lamiaceae as well as sage (obc) & catmint (gman).

Yeah CN, the leaf serrations aren't right for Catmint. The flowering structures are close.
I think you're on the money with some type of Bluebeard Caryopteris.
Wondering if you'd stop by in here. Did you get a chance to catch up on this thread?Quote:
