I have broken the rules
I watered
my flowers
I hand watered
just enough to hydrate my petal pals
then I went out tonight
and watered again...it was 104 today
It was really beautiful out tongiht in the garden
the sun sinking into the horizon
a brilliant orange
the air heavy...moist
and the aroma of it wafted around every bumble
and butterfly wing..out for that last sip
crackers anyone?
cheese?
I closed my eyes and inhaled as deeply as I could
this is summer
in all its glory
hot moist quiet still and thick
But I wonder what is left to bloom?
goldenrod..aster (they are already blooming)
obedient plant,evening primrose
I'll be watching

    Oh, I know Suz, summer is passing quickly but leaving behind memories of such intense heat and humidity. The fans and AC have run constantly...like a winters furnace.
    With the wet heat index near 105 yesterday, no wonder the sheets never did dry.
    Stay cool and
    BlessYourHeart

    It looks cool and lush in your evening garden. I know it was nice. A pleasant surprise to see you the other day!

      I often think of you surrounded by plants....it is your business isn't it? DOes it lose its wonder when it becomes your work? I hope not....I always think that I would love to work at a nursery....the sights the smells ....but my husband said I wouldn't last....it's not a tea party he said to me it is business

    I have noticed that my garden is in suspended animation the last few days. The heat is intense and everything is in a holding pattern, waiting for something to change.
    Aren't you suppose to water at all? Are you being restricted? I hope that your garden doesn't suffer too much. It means so much to you.
