This is one of the flowers in our drought tolerant wildflower mix. The others have been slow to bloom, I hope some of these are still around when they do.



We are going to get these steps replaced with flagstone. I hope it doesn't take too long and drag into November like a lot of projects up here. We were going to keep the goose around to entertain the workmen, but not if it's going to take too long.



There are pretty rocks alongside of them, and I am hoping I will still like how they are arranged when the project is done. The moss will grow back if it gets disturbed.



It has been a good year for the grass along the riverbank. The golden seed stalks are a nice compliment to the green. This is Quackers' favorite grass, so we go to the river to get it for him.
