Happy Dance

The sound of rain yesterday evening was just delightful in every way, and it continued pouring down past our bedtime. It’s been so dry that even with a good soaking the plants didn’t look refreshed or invigorated at all this morning. Hopefully more rain will fall again soon • Today through the weekend will be scorching hot and humid here. I read that parts of the UK are over 100F today. How awful! May we all feel some relief soon • The rain beat down most of the bee balm so I took a photo of the only section that’s upright. MrsP calls it the Dr. Seuss plant, whereas I see it more Muppet-like, ie Beaker and his wild hair :) • We harvested numerous zucchini, yellow squash and cucumbers today, and will add fresh cilantro to our black beans, rice and avocado dish tonight • With rain as number one, the second best news of the day is my first sighting of a great golden digger wasp this summer, a friendly favorite pollinator and visitor of milkweed • Peace & Love, blip friends!
