A bit of a respite from the rain

 

The pond continues to be filled and emptied simultaneously and several people asked if the fish were going down the drain.  Thankfully everyone is here and accounted for, including Two-tone who I couldn’t find at first. The frogs are louder than ever so I knew they were safe.

I have a few plants that have yet to go in, and will have to wait until the ground is less saturated. I had to buy this hosta, Capt. Kirk, because it was a different color and so huge at the store…until I got it home and put it next to the Whopper. I’ll put it somewhere that won’t be as challenged for attention.

I love the way the hosta are hiding all the myriad weeds underneath. Saves me having to pull them out.

This is Ruby Bells Heuchera aka coral bells, but these flowers are soooo RED. I love it’s little self. I do have another one with remarkable flowers, called Day-glow Pink but it hasn’t bloomed yet.

Dave is always asking if a certain bloom has a fragrance and most of mine don’t, so he took it upon himself to bring home a very fragrant floribunda. It smells fabulous. The blooms are huge and waterlogged because of sitting in the rain, but someday soon it will have a prize spot in the bed where a nose can easily reach it.

I will be gone for a bit as my knee surgery is tomorrow. See you later.

Love,

Melody
