Pink and orange
It's 41 degrees, up from a low of 37. Still no frost, but a very heavy dew. The high today should reach the mid 60s. Rain Wednesday and Thursday. At the crack of daybreak, I scattered seeds of rudbeckia, bee balm, and agastache in the meadow garden.

My Orange Hybrid Tea Rose
I noticed the bud yesterday from the edge of the driveway. It opened this morning. Finally, another orange bloom.
All of these blooms are on the same rootstock.
Still no sign of the yellow bloom like this one taken in June right after I planted it.
The echinacea seeds I sowed a few weeks ago are up. I couldn't get a decent photo. Two cups of coffee and the antibiotics have me shaky.
When it rains, it pours. I've had this desk chair for over 2 years. It was given to me by Laura's friend, Diana. She had an extra and thought I would like it when I moved into this house. A couple weeks ago, I was leaning way back as I sometimes do. I heard a snap. One of the front connections snapped. A couple days later, not really thinking, the second one snapped. Yesterday, with my feet up on the desk, the back fell clean off. *sigh*. Glad my nephew brought one up from the basement last weekend. It's been useful to get around the house this past week. Hardwood floors are great.
Finally, the leg is much better this morning already. I don't know what they gave me, but the swelling is way down. It itches like crazy, but that could be all the mosquito bites from my very brief walk through the back yard. Heading back to the doctor at 10am to see if the stitches can be removed. Still leaking a little. Also have to pick up my prescription from Wal-Mart. I hate that place. I bet they won't have it ready.
It's cloudy and 70 degrees. Rain in the forecast for the next 3 days. Heavy storms at times. Next week, temperatures will fall into the upper 70s during the day with 50s at night. Fall is on the way. It's early this year. I read this morning that frost is expected in New England.
I should note that the McDonald's sweet potato vine already has roots showing. That was quick.

Orange
It's overcast and drizzly today. Last week I took some photos of a few orange things in the garden. More orange will arrive later in the season in the form of brugmansias and crocosmia.
Ditch lilies by the mailbox.
Lantana.
Cosmos.
Nasturtiums.
Carrots.
Tomatoes.
Rain and thunderstorms expected most of the day. 70 degrees and humid.
