August in my Colorado foothills garden!

August 4, 2021August 8, 2021 / Laura Lee Carter

Here at 7,000 feet in southern Colorado, we have had an amazingly wet summer! In the past three months we have received over ten inches of rain! Even yesterday I thought we got nothing, and then this morning I went out and found .14 in the rain gauge! Mother Nature is not disappointing this year!

The monsoon is certainly blessing us this year. Here are a few photos to help you appreciate my garden joy!

WOW!!! The volunteer sunflowers are everywhere!

Our view towards Mount Mestas…

and hardly any smoke lately too! It’s cool, clear and moist up here. Even the plants I wondered about have made it!
