At one time, I thought, by the end of July the need for masks would be fading away. But with 21 states dealing with rising infection rates, the end is not anywhere in sight.
The country has surpassed 150,000 deaths. But our state is doing well, only 79 new cases out of 12,367 new test conducted. Only 53 hospitalizations in the state, back in April nearly 2,000.
Finally the Rose Garden: Work has begun!
The first day 
The trellis hidden 
A wall of wisteria, bittersweet, and trumpet vine line one whole side. 
Looking into the overgrown garden from the rear. 
The back overgrown with wild roses and blackberries 
The trellis after 18 years 
of wisteria, wild rose, 
trumpet vine and bittersweet overgrowth is still standing! 
A Buddha uncovered 
In the middle an old sundial.
