I agree with Sherry, Inge, you words are as lovely as your photos. We are in the midst of a torturous heatwave, and I envy your fresh, happy flowers. So much looks sad and wilted here. Fortunately, we had an inch of rain last night, ushered in by a fierce storm that woke me with its booming. But, with temps reaching towards 100F, the rain refreshment will be short-lived, sucked up in the intense heat.
