So wet!

 It has rained constantly for more than a week.  We had over 10" of rain in June.  It is a wonder my garden hasn't drowned!  While everything, particularly the weeds, are green and lush, my vegetables are ripening slowly.  I had hoped to pick corn for the 4th, but it won't happen.  I have picked just one tomato.

The flowers are doing well.  Here is an orange crocosmia.  Such a delicate flower with a bright, bold color.  These are one of my favorite mid summer bloomers.

I continue to monitor our "critter cam".  We have seen a small fox and very small possum.  It is fun to see what visits the yard, and also interesting how our cat, who is now 14 years old, ignores them all.  As a younger fellow, he would have chased them all away.

It looks like it will finally be sunny for a great 4th of July celebration.
