Smoky orange is one of my favorite colors. Its performance is fair, but I do not spray.<br /><br />Phillip,<br />We got over an inch last night and it was most welcome.<br /><br />Christine,<br />I think that is the motto from Plant Delights, who I respect, but do not agree with.<br /><br />AAG,<br />Good for you for recognizing the breed.<br /><br />Gail,<br />I put the pups last so you would not ignore the plants.<br /><br />RGB,<br />Thanks, I do try.<br /><br />Tina,<br />Their cuteness wears thin after non-stop barking.<br /><br />Carol,<br />I appreciate your kind comments.<br /><br />Daricia,<br />Sorry that the smoke tree did not show up.<br /><br />Racquel,<br />Yes we have been lucky on the rain front.<br /><br />Sarah,<br />It is not supposed to be hot in Maine. Maybe that will make the blueberries ripen sooner.<br /><br />Janet,<br />I will not garden in the summer without the coleus. I love those strong colors - no ground for pastels here.<br /><br />Stone Art,<br />Thanks for the kind comments.<br /><br />Window,<br />Why yes I will stop by for a visit.<br /><br />Linda,<br />The water droplets were a nice bonus, but I went for the foliage color.<br /><br />Pam,<br />Dog blossoms are always in bloom here.<br /><br />Frances,<br />I do love the Kiyosumi, it is much more subtle than the others, and should be looked at up close. It is often lost among the blinding blues of others.<br /><br />Niceartlife,<br />Thanks for stopping by and for your comments.<br /><br />LesLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-68692823738306760302010-05-31T14:06:18.111-04:002010-05-31T14:06:18.111-04:00Very cute dogs and perfect flowers and leaves, won...Very cute dogs and perfect flowers and leaves, wonderful randomness collection!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-73919301159449294172010-05-31T07:37:34.988-04:002010-05-31T07:37:34.988-04:00Oh those faces of the canine companions, so full o...Oh those faces of the canine companions, so full of emotion! The weather is random here as well, raining hard at one spot and bright and sunny just a couple of blocks over, impossible for the weather reporters to predict anything but middle of the road percentages. Your hydrangeas are spectacular, love the red edge to Kyosumi. It's going to be a stellar year for them here as well.

I wish I were as well prepared as you. I can’t resist the temptation of easy annuals either. I love the images of rain drops on the leaves and the early morning light. Funny dogs!
