Helen, they both are pretty. I love the red spider. You must have been watering a lot, everything looks so much better than my place! I decided to concentrate mostly on the vegetable garden and have let most flower beds suffer.

Glenda I don't take pictures of the ugly spots. I am watering the new Japanese maple. You can see its red leaf if you look closely. Also I knew I put some new day lilies here so I have been watering this area. Most of my yard is crispy.
