The sky was dramatic early this morning, in anticipation of the coming T-storms, which will be a relief after a very dry week.

While E was baking some of her famous loaves, I was busy mowing the lawn, where I took pictures of the neighbor’s peony  and my horseradish from last year.  Lots of garden snakes skedaddled as I puttered around the garden.  They were too fast to capture.

Being lilac-deprived, I “borrowed” a few cuttings from next door, and added some of my bleeding heart.
