June and July were record breaking cool so our pond lily didn't grow the way it usually does. We finally got some hot weather and a bloom. I see two more buds. Hard to believe that summer here is almost over.

The back pond is very shady and even on hot days it is pleasant to sit back there and read or work on a project.

The small pond gets more sun so on a hot day it is only comfortable in the morning. Great place for coffee.
