Joybell, what an experience! That one is sure to become a family legend.

Now Bobert---just think of what all that would have cost without the 25% discount! P-vine is a woman after my own heart.

It is dry, dry, dry. Nothing is dying yet, but nothing is thriving, either. The peonies and roses are in bud, but the bud-count looks low this year because of the dry spring. My scarlet phlox drummundii are blooming but are covered with powdery mildew, as are the pulmonaria. The yarrow is beginning to send up buds, but the heads are small. I broke down and irrigated the border where most of my lilies are planted, but I am steeling myself to let many things die if this turns into a season of drought. It is 'spose to rain today. I've left the windows down on the car to encourage it.
