Cleome

Here is a picture of my cleome. I had wanted to plant some this year but time slipped by, and although I had good intentions, by the time I went to buy them they were all gone. Sooooo.....you can imagine my surprise when I spied a little cleome plant coming up about a month ago, in a totally different spot than planted last year. It started out small and now this is what it looks like.

Hottest Day of the Year

It was way too hot yesterday! It was 97 degrees and because the dew point was 80 it felt like 116 outside!

Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July

It is spitting rain outside and it looks like it will be an overcast Fourth. Regardless, I need not worry about the upstairs temperature getting too hot anymore. Blackburn and Davis installed a new GE air conditioner in Jeananne's bedroon. I have only used it once, but can already tell it is a much stronger unit than the previous one. I think Jeananne will be pleasantly surprised when she comes home from Greystone. She might need to add another blanket to the bed!
