It is 106 degrees outside right now and even the sparrows coming to the birdfeeder are panting. Literally; they land on the patio table with their beaks open and stand there, breasts heaving, for a few minutes. I filled up my fountain with fresh water hoping they could cool off there.
The oxblood lilies or schoolhouse lilies were just starting to show a green sprout or two Sept. 12 when we left for Italy; yesterday I walked outside to find they had already come up, bloomed and wilted in a fortnight! Here's hoping they throw up a couple more bloom stalks before going dormant. I'd like to see what the flowers look like!
