Wonderful article, Sharon. Love those ditchlilies! Don't have any close by, but maybe I'll have to scout some up and try eating them! They sound yummy! Can visualize you doing your rain dance under the trees.
Here in AR we have had no rain in June. July is usually the month we dread as the temperatures soar and there is little or no rain. We've already had that in June! We live in the woods and trees are losing their leaves. I noticed yesterday our burning bush is starting to turn. With all of that, we are under a watering ban so things are looking pretty grim.
