The rainy season has come to my yard since I left for my business trip.  Monsoon patterns bring welcome relief to the arid high desert of the Colorado Plateau.  I am glad to hear of the rain, but afraid I will miss the blooms that it brings.  Only one more full day without my garden.

Last year on this day, there were a lot of pastels.  Judging by the scapes, my guess is that they may be in bloom now.  The pastels bring a special aura to the garden.  A very different flavor than Ruby Spider.  I can’t wait to see with my own eyes.
