This has certainly been an odd year weatherwise. Not bad, just odd. I loved the cooler weather in July but that probably was why my Peruvian daffs never bloomed. Maybe next year.

I've spent the last few days trying to spruce up slowly fading gardens. Almost everything looks ratty, the ferns are burning up and my hostas look like they got hit with a load of buckshot. On the bright side the black-eyed susans are in bloom as are my balloon flowers and my Russian sage is being a real trooper. My peacock orchids are smaller than usual for some reason but blooming none the less. I noticed my hardy asters are starting to bud up and I can always count on my Fall blooming ornamental grasses to close out the season. Man, this summer sure went by fast! *sigh*
