Only thing is, I have to go buy a rock. There are just no rocks in South Georgia !!

Emma likes the spider lilies.
This @Jersey Devil has to be the most interesting and amusing thread I've ever looked at, on any gardening forum I have ever looked at ever!!! I don't know whether to ''like it'' with a heart or a laugh .... um 
A word of warning @Dirtmechanic Lilies of any kind can be very toxic to dogs if they eat any part of them

Don't I know it! Usually we have cats coming down with liver toxicity not the dogs. I assume Voodoo lilly is not only toxic but also makes them stinky dogs?A word of warning though @Jersey Devil Lilies of any kind can be very toxic to dogs if they eat any part of them

I wouldn't think anyone with a nose would want to grow a voodoo! As for liver disease, one of my little rescue dogs had it, and it was a nightmare to manage. Poor little dog had been tortured by the gypsies who took him and I had the job of trying to nurse him back to health. He was one of the sweetest natured dogs I ever took care of. He was called Henry.

@Dirtmechanic Emma likes the red ones, she'd probably like the yellow ones too !

So sorry @Jersey Devil, I had another senior momentHuh? I grow stuff but don't even know half the stuff I plant !!! Sounds dumb, but very true. What lillies are u talking about...which picture
it keeps happening! I have amended my post, as it is Dirt's dog I was concerned about. @Dirtmechanic Lilies are extremely toxic to cats as well as dogs. The liver damage will be because they have access to these plants. It is just one reason I will not grow them.@Jersey Devil, I just scanned your pictures again and cannot see any sign of Lilies in your garden.

It’s been a long hot summer in Arkansas ,, I just been watering every day waiting for rain.
Haven’t felt like posting much hopefully we’re getting close to better weather
I had the power pole incident mess with my back yard, then my mailbox box got hit in the front yard .
Anyway I have a few yard pictures

@DrCase you really shouldn't be feeling downhearted about your garden through the heat. You have created a beautiful area there with sheer hard work, and it is enough to lift anyone's spirits at the end of a busy day.
We have also had a long dry spell, and I am unable to provide enough water for my flower beds. It's a struggle to keep up with the veggies, and we have lost lots of those this year with a plague of slugs followed by drought.
This is my favourite time of year. Sit in your garden and reflect! Look at the lovely calm haven you have created and smile. Ponder what you can now add as the cooler days come along - another tree maybe for extra shade?
