Rhododendrons

Delicate pink and white Rhododendrons are blooming here in the last week of May as the Lilacs slowly start to fade. This year the fragrance of the Lilacs would drift on breezes in the evenings and it smelled so sweet coming through the windows at night! Now the Rhododendrons are putting on their show next. After that the Daylilies and Asiatic lilies will put on their display. It has been abnormally warm her for the last couple of weeks here in May! But still the evenings are nice and not stuffy, thank goodness. In the mornings the songs of the Robins, Orioles, Chickadees and many other birds drifts on the comfortable morning air, not too stuffy and not too chilly. It's just the middle of the day when the sun is high in the sky that it gets rather uncomfortable from the humidity being blown up here from the south. But by Wednesday or Thursday the first few days of June it will cool down to what I know New England is supposed to be like in early summer in the 70s with low humidity levels! I look forward to it!
