Daylilies

The daylilies are blooming like mad, about 10 days or so ahead of their usual schedule. July is chilly so far, with a sprinkling of hot and humid - not much of that. Not bad, but it is surely weird to have to have a heavy sweatshirt zipped all the way up for a morning walk in July, as I had yesterday...today a long sleeved shirt sufficed.

Had a wonderful trip to Michigan wine country a week or so ago - and learned that I have a 2 winery limit. Lovely wines to try and buy - I needed a bigger vehicle! And only locked my keys in the car one time - on the one hot day so the top was up and I couldn't just crawl in to get them - figures. New rule - always carabinerize the keys to my belt loop BEFORE I get out of the car.

I am feeling really great these days. My new habit of walking first thing on days when I do not have sprints to do, followed by coffee and sudoku, suits me. I especially love getting out by 6:30, before the sun is high enough to get into my eyes. The world is especially beautiful then. My flowers are doing well, and need extra watering...not much rain in these part. I read yesterday that we are about a foot behind the typical rainfall amounts for this time of year. Yikes!

The windchimes sound good this morning - just a little breezy, unlike yesterdays gale force winds. Nice to be out on the deck...and those daylilies - I believe there are 5 times as many blossoms as we had last year. I love them - they are so easy. Just like the rest of my life. Easy and fun. How's yours?
