Today it warmed up considerably.  So, a few photos before the soon-to-appear very hot weather wilts everything!  Most of the roses are in between blooms - but there are a few blossoms spread here and there.  The lilies like the hot weather (though they don't last as long).  Some of my vegetable garden will be delighted (think corn, tomatoes, tomatillos) and some will be pulled out sooner than anticipated (think lettuce, kale, and beets.)  I'm feeling quite protective of what's out there...cooler weather in late June has extended the harvest, and I've enjoyed that. 
 
But - it is summer after all, so let the hot temperatures begin!  The garden always survives - and I do, too.  (That's what huge mugs of ice water are for.)
