It's hot, and dry. Very dry.

Wow, it's hot and dry. The grass is crunchy. Not good.

Here are some updates:

I told you there were canna in there! I'm crossing my fingers they will bloom.



Our house is being taken over by sunflowers, all volunteers!



The hydrangea from Oma is just beautiful. I'm hoping for even more blooms next year.



These lilies smell so sweet, we can smell them from inside the house sometimes.



This lovely daylily was a new addition last year (with the daisies seen in the background).



Smoke Bush looks good! To the right is Bee Balm from Mom's yard.



First bean harvest of the season!



We picked this up in Iowa, and Steve assembled it yesterday - too cute!
