Garden-sitting During a Double Heat Wave

Watering, watering, watering! And now a request to conserve water due to dry wells. I've been spot watering on the sly for myself and my neighbor who has been gone almost two weeks.

Just want to prove that the plants are okay so far. She'll be home Saturday and can make her own decisions about water conservation.


The Stargazer Lily has bloomed during this heat!
So fragrant too.


The Globe Thistle is just starting to bloom.


The bees were busy in the Liatris
which doesn't seem to mind the heat.


The coneflower, newly bloomed, has a deep color.


Its color will fade in the next week,
but the goldfinches will love the seeds.


The yellow day lilies are almost through blooming,
but their fragrance is still delightful.

I'm on duty until Saturday.
Then the garden owner will have to
decide what to do about the call to conserve.

Until then, I'm a stealth water-er!
