As we inch our way towards another long weekend...
I thought I would share a very good performer this summer...
This bright orange coleus is doing really well...
I planted in one of my HUGE containers down near our beach deck...
She sits nestled in amongst the tall Miscanthus, so, she gets some protection from the cruel winds we can get off the Lake...
I took these at the same time of day as the previous post...
Right when the sun was peeking thru the grasses...
It is recommended to nip off the tiny florets that form, as you will get more leaf growth...
And the leaves is the whole point of this spectacular plant...
This is the other coleus I have in a big pot...
But...
On the other side of the deck, and he gets waaayyy more sun and wind...
A bit differently colored...and I see a floret that needs to be nipped!!
Hot and Sunny here...they say rain for the weekend...hope not!!!
Except at night...that is fine with me!!
Expecting all my kids out on Saturday...pray for nice weather!!!
Will have a nice family meal together...gluten-free of course!
And lots of veggies for my son!

A few Labour Day Weekends ago...
My boyfriend and I were in the middle of a "Haboob" of Dragonflies!!!
They were literally banging into us....going wherever they were going!!!
It was really cool!!! In the morning...this little guy....was on our table...
Guess he didn't make the rest of the trip with his buddies!!!
I wonder who will be visiting us...in the skies...this Labour Day??!!
Sometimes we see the planes from the CNE airshow...stalling over Lake Erie...
Waiting for their grand entrance over Lake Ontario...
Have a great weekend....relax and enjoy!!!!
Cheers! :o)
