Here are some more pictures of RLM's family farm from last weekend. The sunflowers are volunteers that were left to grow near the vegetable patch, with a joyful effect!

Here are some red peony-flowered poppies (
Papaver somniferum) growing among the carrots. These beauties spread themselves freely all over the property, looking like roses growing atop a lettuce plant.

The flower border, including Stella d'Oro daylily, shasta daisies, snapdragons (
Antirrhinum), Parkland roses and some yet-to-bloom coneflowers.

Just like us, the in-laws have been having ridiculously hot temperatures in the southeastern corner of Saskatchewan. They have many plants in pots that require regular watering and fretting, making me wonder -- are plants really any less work than having a dog?
