This is the sight I took refuge in today. I was in need of some, just having written an email to my club members entitled "Read the Damn Newsletter," so no, I’m not above that kind of behavior.
Anyway, the air is very warm and humid - real summer. Volunteer rose campions have joined the primrose and creeping sedum and now they’re hiding the streambed underneath. The grass is a carex, so it’s evergreen, and looks great in sun or shade. Now if you have a high-speed connection, click to ENLARGE. I’ve just discovered this nifty feature and think it’s a gas.

Whoa, that’s even more gorgeous when its enlarged, and I just realized I can get a whole series of your pics enlarged!! Got started and couldn’t stop. What a treat!

Thanks for the lovely garden vignette. How much shade in your experience can the carex take? (And still look respectable…)
I’m going to go now and read those damn newsletters!

Very nice little spot to view & ease the mind. I am fond of the rose campion volunteers. My creeping sedum creeps everywhere…I call it an ‘over-the-shoulder’ plant. Love your newsletter spirit!
