A welcome break
We didn't get the rain we were hoping for, but there wasn't really a very good chance anyway, and at least we had a cloudy cool morning. With temperatures over 100 for the last few days we really could have used the moisture, but the cool morning was great and afforded me plenty of time to tend the soaker hose and continue the never ending job of tidying up the garden. I'm trimming back foliage burned by the heat right now.
The picture is of some bougainvillea I have on my patio table. It had lost all of its blooms earlier this summer, but I'm happy to say it looks pretty again.
Rosie had a tapeworm, poor baby. We are hoping that now that it has been treated she will put on a little weight. She did gain some weight in the last month and weighs 5 pounds now, but she looks painfully thin to me.

It was nice not to hit 100F today. Here's hoping we get some rain. Your bougainvillea is beautiful. :love:
I just can't figure out why my bougainvillia hasn't put back any of it's blooms. It's still stark naked . . . not a single bloom on it.
Your pictures are sooooo pretty!:good-job:
I love these...very plentiful in Florida and part of the "flora" there which brightens up the state.
Poor Little Rosie! I guess that's what comes from eating everything except her puppy food! I'm glad it's been taken care of!! I liked the digial image challenge you did earlier this week.
Aw, poor Rosie! Hope she's feeling better soon!
Beautiful shot of one of my favorite flowers, especially now. My daughter and her girlfriend cut bougainvilla by the side of Highway 1 on the road to Cabo San Lucas for my daughter's wedding bouquet. I have a feeling that I'll be smiling every time I see bougainvilla for years.
