Rain Soaked Daylilies

(Toledo, OH) We purchased some late-blooming daylilies last year, and these flowers continue to provide our gardens with extra color at a time when the hot summer sun is browning most of the yards around us. The lilies pictured on your left caught some raindrops from a brief passing storm system today, and the water on the plants made for a captivating image.

We also shopped around for outdoor fireplaces last year, and we were pleased with the nights we could spend listening to the crackle of logs after appreciating the beauty of the gardens during the day. I think there is something eternal and hardwired into us that makes us find a cozy fire so enjoyable.

More evenings in front of the fire!
