The cotton is blooming!
We have had scorching hot days with a few late afternoon thunderstorms this week.

This Guitar sculpture is in front of Lawhon Elementary School where Elvis attended school in the 1940s.
Nearby is a plaque in memory of Mrs. J. C. Grimes, his 5th grade teacher. Mrs. Grimes was a wonderful teacher who loved and encouraged all her students. I was blessed to have her for 5th grade in 1960.
3. Bird! (I'd Rather B Birdin')

Guess who decided to build her nest in a hanging basket on my front porch?
A Carolina Wren!

Shiloh, Tennessee, USA, July 21, 2017 |
This National Park commemorates the American Civil War Battle of Shiloh, April 6-7 1862.
It is a very peaceful place to visit now 155 years later. However, a few times during the year, they celebrate special events with a cannon firing demonstration!
If you do the driving tour of the park, watch for deer!

Crossandra 'Orange Marmalade'
Crossandra is a tropical plant that can be grown as a houseplant. I plan to bring it indoors at the first hint of cooler weather in September.
Happy Friday!
