The grass in the front yard is chin deep on the retriever.  Days of torrential rain have kept it too wet to cut, as well as filling the national news pages with tales of catastrophic flooding, human misery, disaster, closed highways, swollen rivers, sand bags, and the emptying of Lake Delton here in Wisconsin. 

But there's always a silver lining somewhere for someone, and right now it's a banner year for my garden.  Not that I have a baseline of comparison!  The coral bells, the delphiniums, the phlox and clematis and peonies and coneflowers are just bursting out of the soil.  This is their debut summer.  Last year around this time, they were just getting their roots wet, and I still had an aching back from digging out the rocks they replaced.  But it's a long, sweet story.  For the rest of it, see "Wildflower seeds and beer" at
