This summer, we left some parts of the lawn uncut for wildflowers to grow. We have lots of bumblebees around that area and a very big lawn (house in the woods). We tried to sow some seeds but they didn't bloom. But wild native flowers grew.

Dolly did a lot of philanthropic work which included Dollywood partnering with the American Eagle foundation. Through the American Eagle foundation Dolly supported the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of birds of prey. She had an indomitable spirit and is missed.

Picked up a pretty bouquet and a few vegetables from my local community garden stand and also spot our new honeybee friend in the coneflowers. Camden really enjoyed the sunset at the beach afterwards.
