A Wonderful All Day Rain

Friday, July 10

Patio Perennial

Because I am a lover of rain – especially during the summer when crops and flowers are thirsty – I grabbed my umbrella after lunch and went for a walk around our yard.

Hosta flower dripping with rain drops.

Butternut squash in the field across the road.

A large puddle between the driveway at the bottom of our yard and a Homestead cornfield.

The corn is looking quite healthy.

The roots and stalks are happy with this gentle all-day rain.

Remember when Diane used up all our mint to make 80 quarts of tea concentrate? The tea is growing back nicely and will probably be ready for another cutting in August. Hint. Hint. Diane. You are welcome to come for another visit. 🙂

A perennial that will soon be blooming.

Red Bud Tree

Crepe Myrtle

We enjoyed a delicious supper that included fresh corn-on-the-cob from an Amish roadside stand.

I went outside after supper while it was still drizzling and captured this picture of our wet dill.

I love a gentle all-day summertime rain!
