Summer is upon us


What's wrong with this picture? Certainly not the beautiful day. The barricades show where our former gazebo used to sit. There is a new one coming!

    ...Lake Tomahawk seems to be continually under construction.

      That's true. The playground is finished. And now the dam. This may hopefully be the last, the gazebo.

    I speculate that our common orange daylilies will start opening in about a week, or maybe less.

      They don't seem to mind cool nights, as logs as the sun comes shining in the day.

    Great quote! Something photographers and painters and writers pay attention to.

      I never thought of light and shadow being important to writers...will have to consider that!

    We've had several cold days but warming today and hot temps in our future.

    Every park needs a gazebo! The ditch lilies are magnificent this year!! I always want to stop and dig them out of the ditch so thay can come live with me!!

      I love how many ended up in ditches. They might have been thrown there...or maybe the road equipment scattered them from old gardens no longer in existence. They definitely thrive in ditches, so our dear landscapers put lots of them here on our grounds. Mmmm, what does that say?
