Now the pumpkin plants are really growing

The pumpkin plants are taking off. I am excited and hoping that by fall we will have some big pumpkins. And the bee balms are showing off as well as the butterfly bush is starting to take off and the cone flowers. I just love flowers that come back year after year, and each year they just get bigger and better. We actually had to take some out and replant in other areas of our yard.

Went to the doc on Wednesday and now wish I hadn't. My blood pressure is up and she feels as if stress is the problem. Then discovered my ear was infected again so got hit with 3 prescriptions and I just don't like taking meds at all. Trying to convince myself that 145/92 isn't really that bad and could always be worse.

Planted pumpkin and sunflower seeds today

I hope I didn't do them to late in the season but we will see. I didn't want the pumpkins to harvest in August so now they should be ready by the end of September. Speaking of sunflowers by hubby bought me a bouquet of sunflowers yesterday and of course had to pull out the camera and take pictures of my favorite flower. I took these using a spot filter on my camera and of course I had to change one of them
