    The spirea decided to look as nice as it will, while we're still here.

    Yesterday was a beautiful day for a change so I was able to get out and get pictures of things that weren't just dejected pictures of soggy and drooping flowers.

    Crab apple - I think the best it would have been was during the heavy rain of Friday into Saturday

    creeping phlox that planted itself further up in my sitting area. It gets larger every year which I'm not unhappy about

    A small rhodie under the treeline in the back yard. Best it has ever looked. It really likes all the rain and cooler days we've had this month

    Our rescue Azalea that we moved to my wife’s flower garden to hide it from the deer. It’s recovering pretty well.

    I am glad you are having success with the daffodils. I had heard that too but never tried it. I was arriving at a small town where we lived before and watched two deer snack on the daffodils that were around the village sign. Whether they ate them or just snipped them off and spit them out, I couldn't tell.

    Deer love roses as well. Mine had to be fenced in as they were continually stripping them.
