Coming Soon!

For several years I have written about the emergence of the naked ladies in the garden.  As a general rule I predict they will dance on the 28th of July, though once or twice I picked the 27th.  This year, a big miss.  On the 28th there was no sign of any life beneath that bare spot of soil.
This morning, though, there is one, just one spear standing an inch above the ground.  The ladies will be dancing soon!

Those ladies [in the photo] are dancing in gowns of the finest material to be found.

These are the naked, dancing ladies everyone will welcome into their yard!

Chuck, the joys of gardening!

Shelly, soon; but fleeting. Enjoy while we may.

Mother Nature will toy with you...just to make you wrong. :)

Lin, she does seem to love messing with me. This is the first time in my memory that the ladies have not been dancing by the 28th. Must have been to cool early on this summer?

Love the beautiful flowers of summer - the same, but always a little different. I miss having my beautiful flowers to tend.

Vee, yes, the flowers are familiar, and yet each blossom is a new gift.
