Apple

Well, I'm off to see the wizard this morning. Actually, just flying to Massachusetts on what some experts predict will be the busiest flying day in the United States this years. Oh, joy! We'll see. There's also a heat dome settling over the eastern United States that should make things even a little more interesting.

So with all that being said, I think I'll share with you this little hopeful scene from yet another garden in Williamsburg.

Daisy

In the gardens attached to the Prentis House in Williamsburg. William Prentis was a prominent merchant in the 18th century.

Crepe Myrtle

The crepe myrtle stands in front of the Benjamin Waller house. According to the Historical Marker Database, Benjamin Waller, a lawyer, acquired this property circa 1746. It remained in his family for over 130 years. Waller held a variety of posts including Burgess, Clerk of the General Court, and Vestry of Bruton Parish."

Rose of Sharon

There is a Rose of Sharon that blooms every year at this time along a fence next to a pasture where oxen and/or sheep often graze. The Spruce says it will grow 8-12 feet tall. If so, then this plant is easily at its peak, since it is without question more than twice as tall as I am, and I'm 6'1".
