Gardening in your pajamas

I didn't really want to come to work today. I wanted to stay home and go out into the garden in my pajamas and pull weeds in the warm summer rain. But--being a responsible adult -- here I am, at the office, sitting at my computer, staring out the window...

Last night's storm was something of a mixed blessing. The rain was much appreciated. Not so much the wind. My new tuteur blew over with a baby clematis still attached and I'm painfully aware that I must do a better job of staking or otherwise supporting those large flowering plants next year. My 'Casa Blanca' oriental lilies and 'Endless Summer' hydrangeas are flattened. I haven't ventured far enough out into the garden yet to see what else might have been affected. That will have to wait for the weekend.
