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!

 Today's quote:

Shadow owes its birth to light. -John Gay, poet and dramatist (1685-1732)

RAIN and flowers

We've been getting a lot, and some areas of North Carolina have flash flooding. Not here, yet. And no mudslides, yet.

These earliest day lilies are Stella d'Oro. A smaller flower without the pointed edges, which usually has a curl to their edges.  Maybe when they dry out again.
