Yes, that's right. The first orange daylily in the back garden came into bloom this morning...but more important, since I snapped that pic, it has begun to rain. Not a heavy rain, but certainly more than we've seen for a while...although the damp ground this morning suggests we had a little bit overnight, as well. It was only a tease though, as it's already stopped again. If only we could have one reasonable rainstorm (maybe with a little lightning) and then move on to nicer weather.
Normally, I am a little more concerned about watering the garden than about tourists on vacation I don't know. But I do have friends on Cape this week, and they've enjoyed, with good humor, an assortment of overcast skies, Cape Cod fog, and only a few short-lived glimmers of golden light since they arrived. I'd love them to have a little bit of our glorious sunshine sometime before they are making their way back toward the Bridge and the world beyond.
Of course, I don't expect it to really rain until this weekend, when a host of fireworks displays are scheduled. It's not my hope...I love the bang and the boom of a nice holiday skyrocket display for the Fourth...but I know how things often work in the universe. At the least the gardens' fireworks can't be called on account of rain!
