Lots to do in the garden right now and the bees are joining in!! My tomatoes are ripening (a joyous treat) along with a variety of peppers and squash. Keeping it all watered is a it of a chore but one I relish for those peaceful moments it provides.

for those dark, gray days ahead !

Making a sweet honey!

at the Cereus Inn ..

nectar for bees ...

fragrance & beauty for humans ..

this Cereus grows out of the spines of a cactus ..

usually blooms at 10pm EDT ..

lasts about half of the next day, then reverses the unfolding process..

no Dragon Fruit this year..

maybe next...

over 15 of these beauties from June to November !

maybe I should fertilize it ...

Check out the large view...I regret overlooking the dainty pink flower in my zeal to capture bees at work!

Large view most pleasing

love the Night Blooming Cereus when they are this close..

not only double the fragrance..

but, how can one possibly take a bad shot ?

with two aweseome flowers...

Night Blooming Cereus, the morning after an opening show, displays still more beauty lin the light of day.. including her Purple Heart sisters..

this is the path I'm on in the pitch black of night when the Cereus begin their show..

 

thought you'd seen all the photos ?

oh, no ! You have no idea how many there are ! I shall be kind and not dump them all out at one time... Opening Night, that is different!

same music ..

 

"Chain Chain Change

Chain Chain Change

Chain Chain Change

 

Change of life.

For five long years,

I thought I am loosing my mind;

but I found out no....

It's just a part of the change.

My body tried to warn me,

the signs wern't too cool;

it treated mean,

its treated me cruel.

Chain chain Change (Chain Chain Change)

Change of life

Now every change

has got it's own time,

and I am here to tell you child,

No one's is worse than mine.

(work work) I told it to leave me alone;

Ignore it till the signs were all gone;

My doctor said "take some prozac) but these mood swings are way too strong..it's just the part of the..

 

Chain Chain Change

Chain Chain Change

Chain Chain Change

Change of Life.

 

One of these mornings,

the change will be though,

but until then,,yeah

I'll do what I can do...to cope with

 

Chain Chain Change

Chain Chain Change

Chain Chain Change

Change of Life.

 

Chain Chain Change

Chain Chain Change

Chain Chain Change

Change of Life."
