Feed Me, It´s Hot!

What a summer! 
When trees ask for help it´s hot and dry.

But guess what happened:

 

And with that our balcony brought these:
 

To Independence Day of Ukraine - I believe in your strength, neighbors! 

💙💛🌻

This, of course, is for Tom´s Signs2.
 
Henry 🦁


I hope for Sparkling wine to cheer on an end of darn war.

it's great when the rain comes down just in time, but I think for the trees they need it more often. Your trees are not used to drought. I love the sunflowers, I have seeds to plant in the spring, for Ukraine. I hope their independence day is peaceful.

Yes, the US asked citizens who visit/live in Ukraine to leave now. How sad is that!! Was in the news here yesterday.
I hope your sunflowers will grow "in peace" and reconstruction, however long that might take...

The city and it´s people do their best for the trees and plants. Oh, but I enjoy this summer so much (sorry, trees).

That note on our friend, the tree, is super touching! I really find these simple and cute things very deep and touching! Super love seeing the Sunflower, it's my mom's favorite flower so whenever I see one even through photos, it reminds me that she is with me :)

Thank you for these beautiful things dearest Iris! I got a day at work sarting now and you helped me have a good beginning!

Iris Flavia said...

Dearest Stevenson, you are welcome - to a great working day!
My Dad´s fav flowers were sunflowers, too.
His coffin was covered in mini-sunflowers.
Weather again hot and dry - poor trees! But.. I love this weather. And I reckon there are enough people who help flowers and trees :-)

rees are thirsty. It's the same here, too. No rain and our trees are suffering from the extreme heat. Great signs, though and, like you, I love sunflowers. They are my state flower!


Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

That should have read "Sorry to read your trees are thirsty."

Our trees are thirsty too. If only we had more rain. Trees drink a lot of water for photosynthesis. You should look up how much-I can’t remember the actual amount- but it is a lot. I’m glad you had a lot of rain. And you should link your drawing up to Try It On Tuesday. Nothing is too simple. And you don’t have to wait until Tuesday either. 😀👍 have a great middle Of the week Iris. HugsErika

Iris Flavia said...

Elizabeth, your state flower, how beautiful. I think we only have Henry...

Erika,the city and it´s people help with the trees :-)
Let´s see, maybe I find time today - somehow I run out of motives anyway! To a great rest of the week 😘

Your sunflowers are gorgeous! Enjoy your balcony time!

Jackie McGuinness said...

Love the sunflowers! Our balcony gets too hot, I've given up on growing anything other than geraniums.

Iris Flavia said...

CJ, will do :-)

Jackie, that´s sad... for the flowers, not for us humans :-)

We had a lot of rain finally on Monday so all the trees and plants are looking happier. Many trees seem to be dropping leaves since it has been so dry here too.

Crazy weather, but hopefully all the trees survive. Loved your comment about chaos if we all got to choose when the seasons changed :)

Iris Flavia said...

Margaret, here it would be summer ALWAYS! ;-)

The rain is welcome.
