rows of sharon

Today's been a beautiful late-summer day. It's been sunny with temps in the seventies and a nice cool breeze. Absolutely lovely and ideal. I haven't taken Nick in the backyard for quite some time, but he wanted to go back there after our walk this afternoon, so we did. The two rose of sharon trees were in full bloom with way more flowers than I've ever seen them have. It was a nice suprise. A bit of beauty following a week of rain and the worst thunder storm I'd ever experienced. What a trade-off.
