T'WAS JUST A GARDEN IN THE RAIN

A GORGEOUS REDBUD

TOUR BUS...

...FULL OF GARDEN LOVERS

Tuesday, 9:00 AM   48 degrees F at the ferry dock, 47 on the back porch.  Wind variable and calm, the sky overcast.  The humidity is 87%, the barometer 29.88" and steady.  We may get a shower this afternoon, and the next few days will have mixed skies with high temperatures around fifty degrees, with yet another chance of rain by Friday.
   The continual rain hasn't dampened the spirits of gardeners touring Bayfield; witness the photos of gardeners enjoying "Martha's Fantastic Garden" (use the search engine for more info on Martha's garden).
   I like visiting gardens in the rain.  The colors are more vibrant, the plants at their best. Some of our best garden visits have been in the rain.

                                                   Garden In The Rain

T'was just a garden in the rain 
Close to a little leafy lane 
A touch of color 'neath skies of gray 
The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds 
The blossoms raised their leafy heads 
A perfumed thank you 
They seemed to say 

Surely here was charm beyond 
Compare to view 
Maybe it was just that 
I was there with you 

T'was just a garden in the rain 
But then the sun came out again 
And sent us happily on our way
