Summer Showers and Summer Blooms
As our dry summer has turned more moist, the green of June extends into July. The lack of mosquitoes has turned into an abundance of all types of insects. Fireflies light up the night and moths and butterflies abound. Mayflies and dragon flies have risen in waves from our wetlands as the native colors of summer march on. Fresh garden vegetables now grace our table as we now fight weeds rather than dry soil in the garden. Although much has changed in the world, those of us who garden are still finding the wonderful “old normal” of working in the soil and eating good fresh food.
