I feel cooler just looking at them. That sweeping drift of white reminds me of colder days. Now I know my hot does not compare in any way to most of you poor souls out there, but after four years at this altitude my thermostat has been re-calibrated. When it gets close to 90 degrees it makes me hot and it makes me sweat. I don't do a whole lot of that anymore.
Granted by the time I get home to the low spot, high on a North Carolina mountain top, it is cooler than where I came from. I think I will be needing more Shasta Daisies though for cool thoughts in mid summer.
Client #1's garden is doing summer too. His Shasta Daises don't have quite the same effect. I sweat more down there.
I sweat for this and a surprising number of compliments from the clients of Client #1.
I know how to have tidy manicured gardens. I just can't have one of my own.

Love those Daises. They do look cool. Client's garden is very lovely.
Go outside here past 10 in the morning & you get wet. So hot here but we are cooler than a little north of here.
Crazy weather.
I am about 2500 ft on my side of the mountain and trust me, it has been hot, hot. I have been waiting for the cool front that is supposed to come through this week. Maybe today? I do my gardening early in the morning and late in the evening. The neighbor's son works during the hot mowing and trimming our lawns. He can't seem to get up early.

I think this is why I like my white phlox. It looks cool even in the heat of summer when it begins to bloom. Try to stay cool.
