Hibiscus

Well, that hot weather killed a lot of stuff but my Hibiscus loved it. It still has blooms to come.




I noticed a bee while I was taking the picture and so I got close and snapped a pic of it. It's amazing! I've never looked at one really closely before. I thought they just got pollen on their little feet but look at this guy!



I'm really tired these days. I'm still not over that full day I worked I guess. I've been into the shop 2 other days for a few hours cause we're getting ready for the Annual Quilt Walk and Classic Car show on Sunday. We have about 100 quilts this year. We hang them in shop windows on our two main streets here. We'll also be having a night market this year too which is neat and lots more vendors bringing stuff to sell.

You should send that photo of the bee in to some contest, it is gorgeous. Plus it also shows what a messy guy he really is! Take care
