Well, there is certainly an upside to all of the rain we have received here in Colorado this summer! My perennial garden has exploded in color, and I thought you may like to peek in for a burst of vibrant hues.... Not only that, but the ladybugs are out in droves, and what fun that always is! ENJOY!....
