Waiting for the Thunderstorms


It's after 5 p.m.
and the rumbling
is just starting...
a little late!


Sitting on the porch
watching the sky darken,
feeling the temperature drop
and hearing the rumbles increase.


The front planters look great
after yesterday's all-day
gentle soaking rain.


Around the corner of
the garage, the plants
are a bang of color.


The yarrow is taking over 
the asters and the Russian
sage which haven't
bloomed yet.
The purple of the second 
bloom of Veronica
and the yellow of the
make an explosion of color
on the garage side.


Around the corner
down below,
the daisies are not 
quite ready to bloom.
There are signs of 
hydrangea buds!


Beyond the corner,
tucked away is
the butterfly bush,
still only green but
soon will be covered
with magenta blooms.


The interesting poppy buds
replaced their delicate blooms
which survived the
last summer storms.


Lily buds are soon to split open!


Balloon flower buds
are ready to burst!


Sunflowers
in a barrage of color!

Besides the incoming storm,
I guess I'm waiting for
the best of mid-summer's
explosion of blooms.
