Foggy became clear-ish

Overnight rain produces morning fog. That elm survives on the north fenceline. I think twenty years ago there were a trio. Such is the power of Dutch elm disease.

I neglected to look up what this is, and just named the photo beaut.

I discovered there are TWO flower stalks on the rhubarb. This is the same one as in yesterday’s shot.

Two pink lupines, contrasting with their purple-blue brethren.

Here’s this year’s “garden.” There are four basils under the squirrel cage. It kept squirrels away in ATL, until there was too much shade for veggies. Then, I brought it up here, where it keeps the deer from dancing on the soft soil. I noticed a goldfinch under it this afternoon, but by the time I got out to free it, it was gone. [I’ve covered the flanks of the mound with grass and rhubarb leaves to reduce evapotranspiration.]
