It was a dark, stormy night!


Wow! Thunderstorms like we seldom see here on the coast! Usually, we say "did you just hear something"?, as the storm passes overhead, but last night was a doozy and we had almost one inch of rain in a very short time. Good thing too, as I was going to have to drag the hose around to water the garden today. Hooray! Leaves more time for a possible kayak paddle later on this morning, seas permitting.

The garden blooms more beautifully by the day and this last round of rain will help the astilbe, ligularia and Joe Pye weed get a good start on their blooms. The lillies continue their concert of color around the garden.
