The Dry Season, Answer to Prayer, and yet more in The Woods

This has been a very difficult summer for us all, Burlington seems to be in a magic ( bad) place relative to passing storms - they go to our north, they go to our south, they pass to our east and our west, but rarely, since June have we hit the jackpot.  As a result, we have been having to water regularly and heavily - an acre+ of woodland is not an easy thing to keep hydrated, and our "new babies" are particularly vulnerable. Last night we received almost 1/2" of rain - a blessing!  And in The Woods, the beat goes on - more lovely plants coming to bloom:
Virgin's Bower Clematis virginiana
White Beautyberry  Calicarpa americana v lattea
a first bloom for this shrub - berries??
