Hello to all. And now a weather report from central Virginia. Hot and dry. The talk of rain sounds so good. We sure need it. I realized earlier today that about two months ago I was complaining of the amount of rain we were having then. I knew then as well as I know now that it is a good things that we had the rain we did because we usually have a drought each year, but certainly not usually this early in the summer. As it sit here now the skies are darkening and both John and I want it to rain so badly. We agree about it being too hot to water.

I am going to try posting a picture here that was actually taken last June 29. The arera looks very much the same this year. It is taken by a neighbor at the bottom of our driveway and features mainly Day Lilies. I hope you will enjoy it. I haven't done much camera and flower wise this year for some reason. Oh yeah, been too hot all summer already. I don't go outside usually until evening when it is a bit cooler. Take care all.
