Hibiscus estivating

The outdoor hibiscus has a pattern of blooming for a while, going dormant, then starting up again in late summer.

Again the finches were swarming the feeder early, along with chickadees and cardinals. A dragonfly was buzzing around early. It's another blistering day.

Around 3:30 rain finally came out of the northwest with thunder and lightning and great gusts of wind. The temperature dropped nicely and it appears we are getting a substantial watering.
