Mechtild's

Hi, Frolijah Fan! Actually, the heat wave got here today. I think it reached nearly ninety, which is very hot for here -- and very humid. The dehumidifyer in the basement is going great guns. But the plants are loving it. The big orange day lilies are opening as I watch, and the red monarda (bee balm) are unfurling as well, so I'll be taking new pictures later this week. There's supposed to be a big thunderstorm tonight, which makes sense, the air is so soupy and warm, but we'll see. They were forecast all weekend, but, in spite of intermittent overcast skies, no storms materialized.
