poplar road

Two weeks have gone by as I've been working full time, this last with an incredible amount of heat. I got heatstroke on Sunday in the 38 degree scorcher, while pruning lilacs and other shrubs that have finished blooming. While I was wilting away, the summer flowers were soaking up the light. The bucket of miscellaneous lily bulbs I got from the neighbour last fall have grown very well and today was the real show. I can't resist showing them off. No scented stargazers, sadly, but what colours!

Happy Summer, everyone!
