Light Show

At one a.m. I was awakened by the most ferocious rain and lightening I had ever witnessed. It was both frightening and gorgeous. The rain was pelting in the house and I had to run around and close windows, mop up rugs and furniture and then dry my hair, which got soaked.

This morning I saw that all the Annabelle Hydrangeas were toppled over-broken mid stem-and so were the Hollyhocks-it was a sad day for this gardener. But a more glorious day could not be imagined-cool, low humidity and sunny-I worked in the garden most of the day.

So after having wine with guests, we all decided to go for pizza-We just finished and it was so much fun to talk to our guests and really get to know them.
