Morning Glory
Ipomoea purpurea 'Grandpa
Ott's'
(ip-oh-MEE-a) (pur-PUR-ee-uh)
I have to admit the color of
this flower is very enchanting to me. Truly a sight to see in the morning when
the vine is covered with hundreds of flowers each reflecting the sun in their
own way. It has seeded itself but not in a malicious way just enough to keep
enjoying it year after year. Some control was used on the plants last year but
that was more to keep the size in check. There is some wild Morning Glory in
the garden some of which is allowed to grow, I have found it to be an onerous
and formidable opponent and realize that we are just going to have to live with
it.
Our wild and whacky weather
continues. Lucky most everything bounced back from the freeze of a couple nights
ago. We had a cold night last night but not freezing. When I got home from work
on Wednesday I noticed my front and back yard was covered with something white.
Turns out we had about an inch of gravel sized hail. Have to add it’s supposed to snow tonight with a dusting by
morning. What a roll coaster!

That is a lot of hail!!!
At least I didn't have to shovel it. Thank goodness the leaves aren't out. That would have shredded them.
