 I got a thing for pretty flowers. I took these throughout the last week from around the homestead here. I thought I would let y'all guess what these flowers are. Do you know the names of those flowers? :) One of them is my Mama's favorite, one of them is my favorite, one of them is just a wildflower, and one of them was planted. Can you guess which flower goes to which of those questions? Aren't those flowers just really pretty? Seeing such beautiful just puts me in awe of God and His glory. To think that He made those beautiful flowers is just amazing. What an awesome God we serve! Summer is fading here in Indiana. :( It is get dark sooner, and we have had a really cool August. I saw today that The Farmer's Almanac predicts that we will have a colder than usual winter! :O I am not looking forward to that. I wish summer would just stay forever! I hope that our flowers will bloom a few more times before winter. I have been going with Jocelyn down to check on the surprise goaties at night. Why can't they stay little goaties and not get bigger and become the pains they do? Baby goaties are cutesie! Jocelyn won't let me name the goaties... I don't know why. :P My names suit those goaties much better. Jocelyn named them: Flopsy, Rawhide, Broken Arrow, Squat, and Chase. I would have named them: Peridot, Sardonyx, Beau, Lil Bro, and Carnivoire. The first two are named after the birthstones of August. Beau's mama is called Bella, Lil Bro is the runt and is tiny, and Carnivoire eats me everytime I go down there. :D What are things going on around your homestead? Any flowers blooming? How is the weather? Prayers and Blessings,  Find me here: The Daily Planet ©AmandaDixon2008 |

| Those really are beautiful flowers, Amanda.
It has been a little windy here in New Mexico, and yesterday when I took Buster out (early a.m.) i felt a little cool that signalled that cooler weather is on the way. :) Love you, Grandma Starr |

| Those are really pretty flowers, but I wouldn't be able to name any of them!
Our summer seems to be going away as well! It seems like the summer was really only here for a month! Have a very bright, very cheerful day! Miss Eyebright http://hsb.com/eyebright |

Your shots are very beautiful. We still have some nice flowers here, but they're starting to die off. Given the crazy cold weather we had last week, I can believe that winter is coming soon. We've had a fair amount of rain the past few weeks which is good. July was drier than ever.
Wicked storms recently - tornadoes in the mountains, near Castle Rock & Parker; kind of some unusual locations. And then there's always the lightening. We have more lightening strikes (or people hit by lightening - I forget which) than anywhere in the US. I think it's more lightening strikes. Crazy stuff.
