Heavenly Blues in Bloom - worth the wait! We’ve grown them for years, impatient for their flowering - and just learned a few months ago that it is the number of daylight minutes that triggers this explosion of blooms. Soooo many butterflies and bees.😊

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.
