Sitting here in the woods waiting for a potential thunderstorm tonight. Have already got a warning from the electric company to be prepared for outages and the heating and cooling system has notified us of increasing humidity. So I thought I would post a little bit of information on the current views in the garden.
The pond life is doing well, counted 12 frogs again today. The fun of counting frogs is trying to find them as they camouflage themselves among the rocks and plants. With the water lilies beginning to open and bloom they often find it great to hide beneath the lily pads. Some prefer sitting directly on them, better to catch the errant flying bug. Jumping to grab it, sometimes a foot or more. Then there is the one frog that has claimed the Fiber Optic grass as his frog king throne.
The water lilies are beautiful in their various colors. They bloom for a few days and gently close themselves up at night.
Living in the woods, as we do, means we appreciate the sun loving flowers. Our Stella D'oro day lilies are beautiful this year.
So as we wait for a storm to bring more rain and replenish the gardens we will enjoy the fact that the breeze has picked up; reducing the amount of evening mosquitoes.
