Weather and blossoms

A little cooler here, and somewhat rainy, but with periods of sun.  Our Lady slipper blooms are fading, but we've now got 4 clumps of them. They took such a hit in the serious drought a couple of years ago, that we were afraid they would never come back.  Every year we eagerly await the first sign of them.  David says that one branch of the Mock Orange bloomed but I didn't see it.  It is such a ratty looking bush now, I'm sure it's barely clinging to life, and an early minimal bloom is often the death sign in bushes that old.  Usually it doesn't bloom until the first week in July.  I remember because that's what greeted us when we first moved in 17 years ago.

After getting home, we had a very quiet day, with both of us taking short naps this afternoon.  All that's left to do, now,  is clean up the kitchen and put the dishwasher on.  I'm wanting to watch "Dead Files" at 9:00, which gives me time for about 1 poker tournament.  Wish e luck!
