Was that a Rocketchip?

 "Lynn, what in the flyin' bat world was that noise?!"

It was a crop duster.  I saw the pilot  and  I waved at him.

We live in a very rural county with low population and lots

of crop fields.  So when it is time to spray the fields about

1/4 mile from here it is quite noisy for hours.

Some people frown on pesticides and I can not say

they are the answer to everything, but I am not the 

farmer who must try to make a meager living at

great expense.  Can you even imagine what it costs

to hire the plane?

Anyway,  the pilot was making U turns directly over 

the house.  Sometimes they are close but not overhead.

Here is another color of rose of Sharon I have.  They are

shrubs and not really roses.  Mine are maybe 8 feet tall and I have

3 of this color.  The Japanese beetles are over for the year.

And the cicadas are now singing.

 Precious and I were on the patio extra early and it

is dark in the morns now. Makes for

great moth catching.

"Don't furgit that Mackerull over at 

da tabbies o trout towne said you could

bag and tag those durn blasted beetles."

I know Precious and I will see about buying

the beetle catching bags soon as I find them.

Getting late enough in summer a lot of useful

yard items are off the shelf already.

"Early burd gits the beetle, Lynn."

The above red hibiscus are not mine.  But I wish they were.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.

it is much appreciated.
