Night Rain

I awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of rain. After a long dry period, is there any better sound than summer rain? Knowing I just purchased and planted some new daylilies:


Edge of Your Seat


Imperial Elegance


Gentle Presence


makes the rain especially welcome. The holes were prepared before going to the grower.  Only enough daylilies to fill the  prepared holes were purchased. They were immediately planted upon returning home. Everything was accomplished by 9 a.m. before it was too hot.

More daylilies continue to bloom in my  garden.

Your daylillies are stunning. I'm so jealous that you got some rain. We haven't received one drop in the past few weeks. They were calling for rain all weekend but the sky is blue without a cloud in sight.
