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:
