The shrubs have now been trimmed for the upcoming season, the sedum are in full color,

and the last blooming hostas are still hanging in there.

Last weekend I trimmed part of the clematis and a hosta that is first to come up, and first to fade.  Although we’ve had low 80°F temperatures on and off, the mornings are crisp and cool.

The hummingbirds are still coming through, and Tuesday we saw something new – a dragonfly migration.  There were dozens flying around above the lawn.  It was very cool.
