I had just gotten used to the idea.

Sedums, drought tolerant plants, and succulents. A little rain improved them too.



The cycad is putting out new growth, again.



Blue Spruce sedum is one of my favorites.



It's threatening to be another dreary day. The humidity has risen a bit, but the temperatures are lower than normal. They called it "seasonal weather" this morning. It's 77 degrees and mostly cloudy.

I love to watch the gardens grow. I no longer take a picture a week of any area in the yard. The backyard is not filling in the way I expected. There was no huge flush of flowers once the crimson clover went to seed. The meadow bed does have tiny seedlings, probably weeds. A few cosmos have popped up here and there. I'll be working on that in the fall and next spring, moving, dividing, sowing more seeds. It's a work in progress.

More rain last night as thunderstorms rolled through the area. Within an hour, 1/4" of rain fell. Lightning flashed and the thunder rolled. Sleep came easy. It's 64 degrees this morning. 84 is the expected high.
