The Rhodenendrons will be in full bloom this week and on their way out when I return. If we get a heavy rain, they'll probably be gone.

The lupine are starting to bloom. This is just a tiny corner of the field (I think about 2 acres) in front of our house where there are literally hundreds.

The veggie garden needs watching, watering and weeding. I'm a little nervous about deer this year. Every morning I go out and count tomato plants, etc. Plus there's a big hole (on the far right) in between the bush beans and zucchini that I still need to fill; but it will have to wait and therefore some late plantings. This ain't no Bill McCarthy garden, but it's what I can manage.
