Rain rain rain

So, I go on vacation for a couple of weeks, with brown Colorado in my rearview mirror, and I come back...and everything is green! It rained. Asters (white and purple), gayfeather, big bluestem, little bluestem, blue grama, all are blooming and perking along as if there never was a problem. Grass is green. However, the trees haven't really recovered.

On a more somber note, I understand that the fungal blight on theaspens may reduce our display this year. We shall see.
