The garden thrives in the rain, heat, and humidity. People are wilting, however. People in and near Ottawa had a brief tornado warning on Friday. There was a lot of thunder and lightning. There was hail and strong winds in Ottawa. It toppled trees and knocked out power. Saturday was chillier, with rain and a cooler front moving in.

For those curious at heart, this was the overall path of this afternoon's storms rolling through #Ottawa. Rotation was detected several times in its journey through town. This was for the first group of cells that passed through around 3pm. pic.twitter.com/rrIQeu8lo7

The frogpond had been drying up. July has been wetter than June. The pond has served its purpose. Tadpoles have morphed to frogs. Mosquitoes have relaunched their attacks.

...this year I've seen a bunch of mushrooms too.
Hello,
Pretty images of your garden and flowers.
It is supposed to be cooler here today, less humid.
Take care, have a great week!
It seems Ottawa has undergone a bit of a disaster: tornado, hail, winds..
I'm glad you were not on its path. Hopefully it's over.
Love your plants.
We got the tornado watch notification, but it was north of us. Love the lower temperatures for a few days.
Lovely blooms in your garden -- thanks for sharing them.
Love that you've got all these volunteers coming up from last year's seeds! And it is good that you all didn't get the worst of the storms, and are a bit cooler for now. I somehow thing because you're north of us, you should always be cooler! Silly me.
The temps felt good this morning.
I love your garden and would welcome that cool change.
Weather is scary this summer.
Your plants are thriving! Mine need watering most days. It's more the heat than a lack of rain here. We're getting plenty of rain, though no tornadoes.
beautiful blooms. i will tell you …that this time of the year we have these, i am not sure what type or species??! but they are tiny little frogs (toads) that if you don't watch you will step on them or crunch them. i often hope they will get out of the way, 'cause when i a drive i can't see them, they are just precious. what a great sighting. ( ;
Interesting post, thanks for sharing!
Lovely photos of your garden, glad the storm didn't hit your area. We had a very hot, dry June and July is very wet and cool for the time of year
We got the tornado warning, and a downpour shortly after.
