Those sound delicious!
👏👏👏👏 Brava! Brava!
Cori Bush . . . Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Hoda? On Meet the Press? With all that's happening in our country right now? God help us. Misplaced priorities.
Love Wesley Bell!
That new bed is going to be really pretty, though.
Those Diamond Eyes are otherworldly! Love the miniatures.
Habanero, anyone? MUY CALIENTE!!! 🔥🔥🥵🥵
😲😲😲 WOW! Beautiful.
I'm so embarrassed for us.
So fragile.
Weirdo moron.
Lol! Oh, that's a good one.
Boomer mom here, and I do the same thing ❤️!
Growing French Baguettes now! Saw this coming up in my raised bed this morning. (I actually threw a stale one out for the birds recently.) Hahahaha!
So peaceful. I hope you can sleep with the window open.
My marigolds are CRAZY UNBELIEVABLE this year!!! Size and color! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Agree. Wacky weather. Like you, I'm a summer lover.
Julia Child is pure perfection! 56° in the 314. Had to dig a sweater out!
Snoop who?
Sniff, sniff.
Snoop who?
You'll get a kick out of this. This is the plant! Fortified against backyard intruders. We only got three tomatoes, so don't be too impressed.
Oh my!!!!
Curiosity finally forced me to research David Austin. Super interesting. How many of the 190 do you grow? Iceberg = 🤩
Anticipation . . . is keepin' me waitin' 🎵
I hereby award 1st Place to Winchester Cathedral of these four!
Accomplished artist! Wondrously beautiful.
Good Morning, Glory!
Over the moon for the Rose of Sharon's. The lilac is heavenly. IMO, white flowers are highly underrated.
Aren't these the prettiest tomatoes!!??!? Red, yellow, green striped!
Talk about IN YOUR FACE!!!!! Breathtaking.
Being a lobbyist, I thought you might. My uncle, now deceased. Very instrumental in southern IL politics. Mainly with seniors.
Mr. Wells, would you, by chance, have known a man by the name of Eugene Verdu?
Riley who?
Oh my!!!!!
Garden art
Nicole is GREAT!
Haha!!! I guess the show wasn't rigged after all! Must repeat. That petunia is fabulous.
🌻🌹⚘️💐🤗👏
Brava! Brava!
Wow, if those are the rejects, the entries must be perfection!
So exciting! 🤞🤞🤞🤞👏👏👏👏👏
Best of luck! All 1st place by me.
Thank you. So sorry we missed them.
We actually went to the fair yesterday (1st time) and really enjoyed ourselves. Looked and looked and asked staff where floral displays were housed, but no one knew. Are they just held on specific days, and we missed them?
Understatement, George Conway.
Wow! Perfect.
Oh, no! So unfortunate. Congrats on the 1st place Sunflower win though.
You aren't crazy.
Jewelweed. Beautiful photo.
Sounds interesting. I really enjoy books about travel. Although narrower in scope, A Walk in the Woods (Bill Bryson) and Mississippi Solo ( Eddy Harris) are two of my favorites.
Precious. Cuteness overload!
It's like, "Come here." "Get away." "Come here." "Get away." But in the end . . . you just LOVE IT!
Yeah. What's for dinner?
I agree. I'm sick about it.
He's a moron.
Oh, no! You had to get the Deere out? You all mean business.
Wow! Looks like the project was a grand success. Dan is smiling down.
So pretty.
Nasty x 2.
I'm a Missouri resident, and I miss Claire.
I would so love to do that. Also, just outright cry out loud when it hit me, no matter where I was.
Comically vulgar is the perfect description.
👏👏👏👏 Congrats to Ann!! Have to say that I totally disagree with the petunia results, though. Rigged.
FUN! 🤞 for Ann's entries. That petunia is out of this world!!!
Over and over and over again.
Yes. So fun. Can't quit eating them and can't quit painting them🙂
Oh, Marlene! Good one.
Yes, so true. Summer garden memories always warm and comfort me and on those gray, cold winter days.
Understatement.
Hideous. All of it.
Bravo, Bravo 👏!
Yes, totally agree, including the Rose Garden.
Time for our monthly review and status check. How we doing?
Global opinion on Trump is polarized and largely negative. Per Pew's June 2025 survey of 24 nations, a median 34% express confidence in his leadership, with 62% lacking it—lowest in Europe and allies, where he's seen as arrogant and dangerous. Trump would hate if you liked & reposted this 🤣
OMG, she's so messed up.
Power.
Hahahaha!
Hideous, like him.
Funny! I'm sorry I called you dummie. It's easy to be mean on paper, so to speak. Apologies.
Haha, Josh! Live and learn.
Awesome photography, as always. Plum Perfect, my fav.
*they're* x 2 dummie
LOVE Jessica! I'm laughing. This is the president of the United States? So juvenile.
Awe. Congrats!!!!!!
Lovely.
Yes, it is. My husband is from Springfield. He has family there. I could have recommended the best, most authentic cashew chicken on earth!
What a haul! Beautiful. We've been enjoying cucumber sandwiches. Tonight, it was tomato goulash.
Not again. Always.
Ew, it was especially gross and f***ed up today. Greasy? Just ew. Nasty.
I'm with ya.
Why, oh, why does he ALWAYS look like he's sitting on the toilet? Such horrible posture. So embarrassed and ashamed on every level.
Haha! Yes, she is. I love it.
Haha! Brava, Kristen, Brava!!!!
Wow! Feels like we fell down the rabbit hole. Wonderland!
He looks ridiculous as usual. So does the Oval Office. So embarrassing.
So busy. Those beautiful little guys make me smile! Flower identification, please?
