The quiet of August?

Not when you live in a vacation spot like Jackson Hole. The traffic intensifies and the trails continue their bustle. Alas, if you are lucky enough to have a home here, you can retreat to its quiet and enjoy the long summer days within whatever outdoor space you have created. The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing. A little pinch here and deadhead there will keep your pots at maximum bloom. Some perennials such as salvia and coreopsis will also last longer with regular deadheading. Enjoy these days of summer, they don't last long!
