Lobelia 'Techno Blue'
Roses are red,
Lobelia’s blue.
I wish this hot weather…
Wasn’t.
* * *
Humidex reads 100°F (38°C) right now. Ugh! The weather forecast says there’s a risk of thundershowers, which sometimes clears the air, but the sky is also blue and mostly cloudless right now.
I am feeling rather blue today, on a more serious note. My younger daughter is going into the hospital tomorrow to have spinal surgery to repair an injury she received while playing softball. She did rather a lot of damage, more than was originally suspected, and though I feel confident her surgery will go well in very capable hands, as all Moms would, I have a palpable ache in my heart that she has to go through this at all. She’s one tough cookie, though, and at least when this is over and done, she can begin to heal. (It makes it doubly hard on Mom that she lives in the next province, too.)
So, blue seems the colour of the day at Casa Nancy. If the planters don’t all shrivel from the oppressive heat and humidity, I’ll share more garden pics in a day or so.
