August flower

Here is a pretty purple coneflower my son in law Steve gave me .
Steve has great drifts of these flowers and I have trouble keeping them going from one year to the next.Perhaps this clump will make it through the winter this year.

A lot of tent caterpiller webs in my trees this year.They have been in the crabtrees and the oak tree.
We have cut and burned 3 so far and there is one more too high for us to reach. Will be using dormant oil on the trees in early spring of 2008.
