Positive and Negative

Finally, a bit of sun!  My Coreopsis is blooming now.  It has the unfortunate common name of "tickseed".  It has such soft, feathery leaves.  This variety is Moonbeam.  It is growing right outside my studio door casting a nice shadow on the little deck.  We are heating up again today and, wait for it, more thunderstorms coming.  It seems to be the pattern now. Gift#192: inspiration right outside the door.
