AZALEAS:

My favourite time in the garden is when the azaleas are out; & that is right now. These are various groups in different parts of the garden & they're just so beautiful - sweet smelling as well. I love azaleas !
We've had 6 drops of rain & not one drop more; though it looks quite stormy at the head of the lake, under the mountains. And it's turned quite chilly. If it comes on to rain I'll be very happy !
