Blue skies, red flowers, white clouds

The yellow-orange
coneflowers.

It's a glorious Fourth of July on the farm

There are beautiful blue skies, bright red flowers and puffs of white clouds to celebrate this holiday.



I just discovered red coneflowers! Their color is brilliant.



The farm is a fireworks of color. I've added red, a bright yellow-orange and a dwarf coneflower to the landscape. I didn't know (you've guessed I'm not a Master Gardener) coneflowers came in such incredible colors and sizes.

The phlox have exploded into brilliant pinks and purple. My hibiscus is a soft lilac. The Shasta Daisies are a bright white.

I'm thankful to be on the farm, with lots of space to plant lots of flowers. Mostly, this Independence Day, I'm thankful for this country, and the opportunity to enjoy such simple pleasures.

The dwarf coneflowers.

God is good. America is beautiful.
