Well you have your closeup lens on today, very nice sharp photos. A friend who is a professional photographer takes a spray bottle with him when doing flower pictures, as they always look fresher with a few drops of moisture. Al

Rainy day baking and cooking... What are you cooking today?

Although it seems like a forgiving dough - I can taste that I cheated on the overnight ferment. Sorry your casserole dishes aren't big enough. I bake in a toaster oven so when my bread rises it burns on top. Another reason P a L'A is good - it spreads out more than up. I brush the bread with some slightly salty water right before it goes in the oven. But I lose that lovely floury rustic surface. Do you have a pizza stone? That helped me get a better crust back when I last had an oven - now I use it in my grill to make pitas. Also I read somewhere or another about using a SS restaurant dish lid as a cloche though I've never seen one large enough. I am currently jealously watching a neighbor build a stone wood-fired bread oven by his pond - the ultimate bread oven. He says he will advise me when I am ready to build one - and I definitely do not lack for rocks. However right now my 'yard' is festooned with logs, brush and firewood piles. Hopefully in the near future the logs will become a woodshed and I can move the firewood inside. Then maybe a bread oven - which will entail moving rocks. I'm tired just thinking about it all. Making some tea and toast and taking a nap.

What a great way to spend a rainy day Jo. Your garden is looking lush and lovely! Trifecta, Dark Shadows and Jujen are getting a lot of deserved attention but they all look fabulous. Great shots of minis and monsters alike. My London Fog was hit by the late frost and has some damaged leaves. It is quite likely that is why yours seems more fragile this year(?) I have always thought it a great performer considering the percentage of white in the leaves. Your non-hostas are happy looking too. lol! Rodgersia is a favorite of mine. Very smart and nice of you to donate some hostas to your neighbors. Community beautification - love it. Thank you for the tour, the rain did not stop here until noon today.

@ Roselee, Yes, I can see the Milky Way and I have some favorite lightning bug sightings that were down right jaw dropping and other worldly.. I am remembering one because the person I saw it with , died this week. We were down on the banks of the Pedernales. we spent a sunset swimming under Ol'Glory, a immense cypress that survived the big floods of the 30's and 50"s. It must be in a sweet spot. The many roots of dead Cypress structures created glorious Rorschach structures in the glassy still waters. we cooked our meals and watched the stars come out and there were millions of them in the moonless night. then the millions of lightning bugs came out all over the undergrowth of the opposite bank down to the river. All were reflected in the glassy waters , stars, bugs, all together, just a vague dividing line between the changing dimensions. It went on for hours. WE slowly waded in till thigh deep in the stars and dove into the reflected lightning bugs and then floated on our backs looking up into the convergence of the sparkling trees and stars like fat bloated water bugs, arms outstretch still and quiet. . This supplanted the last amazing sighting of watching one of those amazing multi-level towering Texas storms sprouting a constant hair of lightning from its upper levels , snaking in the convolutions of green cloud, lighting up like glow worms and snakes in the clouds depths. Out of the lower levels, tree lightning snaked outwards for miles above our head,. and again millions of lightning bugs answering their brethren of the skies. Also an amazing sighting. They definitely rank among the memories that I treasure that have made me forget to close my gaping mouth. Amazing things can be encompassed by "Golly miss Molly" Thank you guys for making me delve into the memory banks.

Jean, WILD ONE and CLOWN PARADE get my vote in this batch. I bet you couldn't wait for CLOWN PARADE to open. It looks great but then so does WILD ONE. But are very much favorites in my garden.

Your CLOWN PARADE looks wonderful. Nice opening and form.
It looks like WOIA, has blooms crowding each other and preventing a full opening.

ANNIE; Thank you for the nice comments.
RITA, You are right about CLOWN PARADE,. I was looking at it every day,and couldnt wait till it got scapes,and buds on it.Now if BARNEY will hurry up.he has 2 scapes and buds, so wont be long till Barney has a bloom, too:)))
JULIA,Thank you for looking and commenting.Yea the blooms was too close together and the blooms couldnt open up on it.Maybe I can fix it the next time,if I notice that soon enough and do some thing to give more room for them to open.Its just too pretty to not be able to see all the blooms open up.
ELLIE Thank you, I hope your babies do good
for you.It does like to bloom.

Love CLOWN PARADE. Mine bloomed for the first time earlier.

You are lucky the rain didn't mess up your flowers. We must have had a bad rainstorm in the middle of the night, as I couldn't find anything to photograph this morning. Everything looked weatherbeaten. Ah - there's always tomorrow.

Seeing your Wonder of It All makes me anxious to see mine this season. It's multiplied like crazy, and several fans have double scaped. The scapes are very tall this time too (27-29 inches). Hope the thrips don't burrow in the buds this time.

All very beautiful flowers in this group. Too bad that three blooms tangled, but the single bloom of Wonder of It All is super pretty!
