I think a lot of you can say the same. Rain has been in short supply for a while.

My husband asked tonight how badly hit by freeze, deer and red insects my daylilies were and since we live in a rural farm/ranching community I answered in a term he could easily relate to: I lost 75% of my crop this year!!

Therefore you may see some repeats in photos!
