Jo Ann, are those Perovskia or sage in your beds? They're lovely. I wish I could keep my beds as nice looking as yours are, but, well... chaos doesn't begin to describe, lol!
Hey Neal, could you send some of that steady moisture down just a little south? I lost some plants this year by having almost a month of no rain, then a full week of deluge. My pinks just told me to take a hike.
