Various from the past week of variable wet weather

The late spring PA weather continues to be very variable in terms of temperature and very wet.  This seems to suit the grass, shrubs and perennials that made it through the even more variable early spring.  Everything is growing vigorously and we're getting better blooms than I remember for a while.  Here's this week's selection from the front garden.  This garden is the most formal bit we have and it is nw-facing, the soil is still pretty heavy and clay-dominated and slopes gently away from the house.  We lost many well established perennials in this garden this year and when I was planting replacements a week ago, the soil was wet, cold and very sticky.
