The tall flowers, all at once.

A rose leaning languorously on the wire.

Everything is full out.

The day lilies go

on

and on

in an almost silly abundance.

Hydrangea row

shows no signs of slacking off

in any of the varieties.

On and on.

The timid little flowers in the rail pot have filled out.

The under story is at maximum,
from the ground reaching up among the low branches of the trees,
all the little weeds, all the middle weeds, all the giant weeds.

And this, of course, is the first sign of the end of summer
the fullness before the finish.
