I confess--though I have tons of work to do at The Acres, when it's this hot and humid--nothing gets done. My oldness can't handle it. I do take an early morning walk and a late evening stroll, but nothing that even comes close to resembling work. Lots of reading going on if that counts--brain work?
The lilies are still blooming like "crazy," and will continue to do so for quite some time. The phlox are just starting to think about blooming. The annuals are in full grow mode--especially the snapdragons. And the coneflowers just started to chime in--several in the wild area during this morning's stroll. And all three water lilies are blooming--pink, white, yellow. I think it's supposed to rain and cool down in the next day or two so I can get back to something that looks like manual labor.
Backroads? The corn is over my head--forget the knee high mantra. All that rain and sun--the fields are gorgeous. Most of the wheat has been harvested as well. And many a field is polka-dotted with hay bales. As you know, I love those scenes. The roadways are orange (lilies), white (Queen Anne's Lace), and yellow (black-eyed Susans), blues (chicory). And it appears that Morrow County is trying to pave some of its gravel roads. Don't know what I think about that, but it will take them a long, long time to get that accomplished. By then the neglected paved roads will look like gravel.
Anyway--not much work being done by me. The flowers are doing great! The backroads are as beautiful as ever. The road crews are progressively regressing. "Ain't "progress" wonderful--and vastly overrated.
