Wait five minutes
Sunday, 3 August 2014
I think of this as a harebell, but I have scrutinized the flower ID book, and it may be the gone-wild cousin, the common garden bellflower, with lanceolate leaves.
This and that chores this morning—like whacking back the grass and weeds around the “garden-let.” Probably more on that another day.
Mid-afternoon, we began hearing thunder. Over quite some time the sky went from bright to quiet raindrops, and then overcast.
It was drippy-droppy rain, the kind the Botanist would have said was a “light, soaking rain.” It lasted the best part of an hour, and cooled things off.
After another hour or so, the sun is back out, the temps have risen, and only a few droplets remain here and there. Well, plus the garden soil is damp (aka sticky)…meaning tomorrow would be a good day for a bout of weeding and plant-submission activities.
