Explosive Joe Pye Weed...

... dead as it may be, seen opposite the cemetery  :)  on my end of afternoon round-the-block walk.  Thanks to David, often our friend for an ID.

Another very hot day (in the 90s F/ca.34 C), although still with virtually no perceptible humidity.  (I don't actually remember summers like this, but given my memory I guess that's not strange.)   Marylee's only  outing was to our nearby post office.
