| Sassy loves to be around us when visiting. She first sat a safe distance from Mr. Gardener watering, then joined us for a conversation about Springdale and the Clintons. |

| This is the new bloom on the Crepe Myrtle, caused by pruning the lower half some time ago. |
 |
| This shows how the lower half of the Crepe Myrtle bloomed while the upper half began going to seed. The resident Cardinals love the food provided on the spot. |
 |
| Earlier in August, the lower half was newly pruned and starting to bloom again. |
 |
| Crepe Myrtle seeds form slowly and last through the winter. I encourage new growth by pruning them in the spring and feeding the soil with multiple layers of mulch at the base. |
