Orange Daylilies, crimson honeysuckle and achillea, bronze fennel seed heads, young lime hydrangea florets and dark bronze leaves from an unknown tree. This is what I found in the garden, and like the barbecue coals, and colorful array of dishes on the table, were a nice warm contrast to the gray drizzly day. Thankfully the weather left a dry window just big enough for Heidi and Jim's July 4th bash to happen as planned outside on the brand new patio. And then it poured and the kids donned rainwear to play with sparklers and watch the fireworks.
