What blessed music the rain makes! I walked down to my neighbors the other day, and my feet sounded like they were walking on autumn cornhusks, the grass was so dry. But we had a little shower yesterday, and tonight are getting a wee bit more, thankfully. Our garden has mostly dried up, bummer...we had some yummy tomatoes, so good and sweet! The cantaloupes and watermelons have been sweeter and juicier too with all the sun.
I don't know how the summer flowers have survived all this heat, let alone flourished the way they have! We've had some gorgeous blooms, including a unique kind of sunflower that actually changes colors as it matures. This one started out dark maroon, a very deep red, then turned to a beautiful rusty burnt orange, and finally finished up in the traditional golden yellow, I'd never seen anything like it! Really pretty blooms. Can you see the small yellow one in the background in the top photo? It started out like the big one in front, and before they opened, they were dark blood-red!
