Rain, rain … wash the humidity away. While the region gets a break from the high humidity for a few days, the damp weather has helped the gladiolus and phlox bloom.

A ruby-throated hummingbird took advantage of the rain to do a little cleaning and the morning glories see some visits from many bees.
