summer is over. by calendar wisdom, summer isn't officially over until around september 23 but by our accounts, summer is over.our hibiscus are finally blooming. there are at least 50 plus buds waiting to crack and let out that gorgeous flower. yesh, hibiscus is my favorite flower. i've been waiting all summer to see these blooms and they sure didn't disappoint.
rin's parents left this morning to go back to india for the next 10 months. they've been here for the summer and that is another reason summer is out. they arrived with the beginning of the warm season and left at the end. they fly from seattle to detroit and into amsterdam. then into new delhi and then bagdogra.
yesh, summer is over. now time for fall clean-up...

These are one of my favorite flowers too. I could never remember the name so when I wanted to talk about them I would as Mary Ann what is the name of the "Squirrel food" flower. We had three of them in pots on our deck when we lived in Woodbridge, VA. That way we could take them in the house in the winter so they could survive. Unfortunately while they were on the deck the squirrel's discovered them. First they ate the blooms, then later the buds, and finally started eating the leaves. They killed two of them before I could move them back into the house. We still have the one, but the squirrels are fewer here and don't bother it.
