We've had such a cool and rainy spring that we're still heading outside to cool evenings on the front porch, even this late in June. Don't tell but there are some kids hiding from a game of Man Hunt in the back of that truck.

I love the light at this time of night. The rudibeckia that Neel planted look more orange than yellow.

And the sweet potato vine becomes even more chartreuse, is that even possible?

Neel put a timer on the light under the golden rain tree, and he was tickled beyond belief when it turned on right at 8:30.

We stayed out until bedtime, listening to the kids laugh and getting gnawed on by skeeters. Summer is settling in.
