Grand Entrance

day one

It rained hard last night. Hard, with whipping winds and gushing rain.

A lot of people lost power and a lot of people had storm damage and trees down. Summer has definitely insisted on making a grand entrance!

When I walked through the yard this morning to see if we had any damage, none thankfully, I took a close look at some new stargazer lilies that I planted the other day.

I noticed that the golden pollen that usually coats the stamen was washed clean off. The tips were smooth and bare, but by afternoon they were pollen coated again. 

The busy little lilies worked overtime today to replenish their precious pollen supply. Now the tips are fuzzy and golden. Just in time for another round of storms tonight.
