Despite the heatwave, we are managing to keep everything alive. The pond is looking a little low and the frogs just have to keep moving. They are happy to have the pond back to themselves after a very busy and traumatic week with several children poking around. The scotch thistle is now 7 feet tall - since I am only 5'6" on a good day - I can barely see the blooms. The coreopsis next to the porch is very happy and blooming like crazy. Tim's parents brought us this beautiful new fern specimen for our shade garden called the Japanese Lacy Fern. It has these huge leaves that look like they are upside down with the stems reversed. We managed to start putting up new deer fencing in the meadow for the vegetable beds post departure of our guests despite how tired we were at the end of the week. We put all the aqua spikes back into the yard and spent the afternoon drenching everything and hopefully we won't lose anything before we are back upstate.
