Summer flowers and giant carrots...

My flowers are somewhat sporadic.  Some are blooming here and some there.  I am pretty happy with my hollyhocks by the windmill.



I'm super excited about this orange gladiolas.  The bees are sure busy.  I've been trying to get a photo of the hummingbird moth. After Ella tried to eat it, the moth has been a has been a bit skittish.
My husband asked me to grab some carrots from the garden today.  Look at this behemoth.  I have never grown such a big carrot.  We were afraid it wouldn't taste good, but it was perfectly delicious.
 Other than giant carrots and a quick trip home not much is going on.  I traded motorcycles for horses this weekend and watched my nieces at the 4-H Rodeo Finals.  I'm super proud of them. They are good hands, making it in roping, poles, barrels, and team roping.    It was great seeing my parents and my sister's family.  It is amazing how much you can fit in during a couple of days.  Did you have a busy weekend?  Is there anything in your garden that is doing fabulously?
