And most don't. The mini heat wave ends tomorrow when we go right back to the cool 60's. But the roses have been waiting for this moment to finally get some warmth on their faces.
The stems on this old white plant are freakishly long-- over a yard. What a wedding arrangement that would make. The rampant stem growth from weeks of rain, then a burst of heat to force the bloom. The garden looks glorious and for once the "good" plants have forced out most of the weeds. Of course, getting the "good" plants cut back in the fall is another massive job.
Anyway, we love the warm weather in this house. Instead of heading downstairs after dinner with a fleece blanket, I actually sat outside after dinner in the warm sunlight. It doesn't get dark until 10 o'clock and people must be out carousing all night. In the morning we wake up to more news of multiple shootings. Even in once quiet West Seattle we hear sirens all around us. Makes a person just want to stay home.
June 27th already. Where has the month gone?
