There are days every summer when the heat and humidity just gets you down. You are tired. Tired of sweating through multiple pairs of clothes a day. Tired of the stench of yourself. Tired of the never ending tasks. You feel defeated by the choice of no herbicides because you feel like the weeds are everywhere.

And then you look out your window as you are cleaning dishes and the world is awash in soft pinks and the sky is beckoning you to come watch the sunset. So you do. And you remember. Why we do what we do. Who it is for. That you are loved and cherished. That you are so lucky to be able to do what we love. And be with people we love.

So we will keep sweating through everything we own because it is so worth it. - even we forgot that it is.

Was it only a month ago I was lamenting we only had 2 hummingbirds!

Not the greatest photo but there are at least 12 hummingbirds at the feeders this morning! I am going through 8 cups a day of food. They are loading up for their long journey.

Two things captured my attention this morning.
1. I need to clean my window in the kitchen.
2. It is a hummingbird feeding frenzy. We think we counted 12 hummingbirds.

Between the feeders at the barn and the feeders in the front and back of our house we go through at least 12 cups of food every time we add food. We had to switch to the bigger ones when they went through the smaller feeders in hours. The bigger ones last the day.

Did you know there is an industry term called "Dirty Flowers"? And it is probably not what you are thinking.

Dirty flowers refer to flowers with hairy stems or other flowers with stems that gunk up the water and cause the flowers to fade faster in your vase. Daffodils, Sunflowers, and Zinnias are the first that come to mind. But there are others you might not think of - Dahlias, Snapdragons, and Celosia I am looking at you.

So what can you do about this. Most everyone will say add a bit of bleach to your water but what does "a bit" mean. Here at the farm we use CVBN tablets. These tiny tablets come 800 in the little bottle and 1 tablet goes a LONG way. 1 pill for every 2-4 quarts of water. This means we use 1 or 2 tablets per gallon. Caution - We tend to go less until we know because more is not better in this case. You can but them directly from Chrysal (chyrsalflowerfood) or Amazon. They make a smaller bottle if 800 seems to many for you.

Every year we add something different - always looking to see if we overlooked a fun variety or variation of a great cut flower. Everyone knows zinnias are such a harbinger of hot, sunny days. We will always have your standard 'Benery Giants' but this year we picked a bunched of "mixed" varieties. It has been fun to see what is coming up.
