Balloon flowers

These Balloon flowers start out all folded up in this little pod.

This is what they look like open. Robin got these a couple of years ago and I think they are my favorite now. It's funny how your favorite, changes as the year progresses.

We are in the midst of a heat wave here in the Northeast. Three days of 90 degrees or better. After having a great spring, our summer is starting off, like summer. We will change how we live for a few days, lots of swimming, and the house will be closed up to keep the heat out. Then when we get that thunderstorm later in the week, all the windows will be open, and we will welcome the big breeze inside.
