Some Rain!

It's been raining nearly every day

since we got back from vacation.

You won't hear one complaint from me!

Some of our garden didn't fair so well though.

These were the gi-normous sunflowers

on the side of the house.

I'm sure the heads were just too heavy with seeds

to withstand the driving rain and wind.

The rattleboxes are leaning

as if some big bully pushed them down.

I'm shoring up a few of them up

but hoping most will straighten themselves out.

Marigolds flattened!

Allyssum split right in two, but still green.

I found the most wonderful thing

when surveying the damage.

An oak seedling popping out of the ground.

Silver linings abound.

 

Nature is a powerful thing.

More rain in the forecast! 

Yipppppeeeee!
