Today was my mother's birthday, she would have been 88 today.It is also a nephew's birthday, so happy birthday to him as well. Mom used to say the wild roses were blooming on her birthday, and I do hope they are doing so again this year. Feels strange to talk about new blooms so late in the season. Soon the magnolia's will end their season and the crepe myrtle will take over. Rather exciting to always have something blooming here. Just recently our little morning glory that grows in the pot has begun to bloom, four blossoms in total so far. The rest of the plants are doing ok as well it is a green border on our back deck.
Today is a wonderful summer day. It is currently 80 (going to 95) but feels like 87 with humidity. People say it is the humidity that sucks, but I think that is what makes it great. Though I must admit I am glad I do not have to actually do hard labor out in the heat. It would be like working in the boiler rooms all the time. The plants seem to enjoy it though.
New photos from my trip to the arboretum are up (see June 2), and in an hour or so a new photo of the day should magically appear.
