Timid Drivers

should either ride the bus or stay home. I got stuck behind one this morning who was afraid to turn left. I guess he wanted 3 miles of clear road. I could have walked across several times. If he's that afraid of our traffic what would he do in Oklahoma City during the rush hour, or even worse Dallas? I can find my way around OKC pretty well, main roads anyway. I haven't been to Dallas in about 15 years, probably wouldn't survive there at all. My church used to take a youth group to Dallas every year to Six Flags. We haven't done that in a long time. I guess maybe Six Flags is out of style. Personally I don't care for the idea of standing in 100+ heat for an hour just to ride for 3 minutes and then throw up afterward. Not worth it.

Broiling hot today, tomorrow, the next day. My garden is trying to survive, the iris are on their own. I have a Black-eyed Susan that a neighbor gave me. It is a very needy plant, needs lots of water. It's got a few buds on it, I'm interested in seeing what they look like. My day lilies bloomed like crazy and now they're through. My cactus had a couple blooms on it, now they're gone. The petunias died out along with the daffodils. Maybe the daffodils will do something next year. We don't water the lawn, it's mostly weeds anyway. Besides, if you water it, it grows and you have to mow more often.

Photos of the day, these were taken last year but the plants looked similar this year.

First the cactus:



Then the day lilies:
