A humid start of the day and then we were in full sunshine. The humidity is the major hurdle as it is very heavy even when the temps are not so high. It is raining right now at 77 degrees F.
I was out this morning trimming back bad growth and excess growth on my variegated dogwood shrub. I really like the dogwood but I did let it get so big that people had to walk around it to come up our front sidewalk to the door.
I tried to plant some mammoth sunflowers among the volunteer ones and they did not grow. I did apparently drop a seed accidentally and it landed on the very corner of my raised bed. I didn't know what kind it was when it first sprouted but I let it grow. It is going to be a big sunflower.
Among the volunteer sunflowers the morning glories are taking off. They are starting to vine to the top of them.
With all the humidity and rainstorms in the north we got some good cloud formations last evening. I am sure a weatherman would know the name for these clouds.
The hummer looks a little weathered from all the moisture yesterday. They have learned how to sit on that perch of the feeder.I have both feeders filled and the do move back and forth and of course they fight over them. The do not like the wasps and bees feeding at them but they don't get aggressive towards them. They just move on until they are gone. Thanks for stopping in today.
