I got out to see what wonders the rain brought this morning and discovered about an inch and a half in the gauge.
The lichen on the old umbrella is gorgeous with the saturated light...unfortunately the photo doesn't do it justice.
Yes!
Full to the top! It's been empty for a few weeks now. The weekend forecast is calling for 102-104 degrees so who knows how long this will last, thank goodness I have 5 others.
Lonesome Dove out on the arm of the Sycamore.
Bird baths magically full...
And blooming fungi overnight!
Note to self...find out the name of this stuff that comes yearly...
The girls are going to Vienna and Cannes this summer for a month to see family, and I've spent the past week making my summer project list...this fence is getting more flowers and cacti. They represent the children on our block.
Friggin' squash vine borer! Fun-spoiler...dag-gum pain in the arse! Okay, I'm fine now.
I had to bolster up the tomatoes that have outgrown their cages with bamboo. 
The peppers look lovely in the rain!
The 'pillars are out on the parsley, fennel and passion vine in hoards!
I love the delicate flowers of bronze fennel.
I quick transplanted a few things to the mound. Lambs ear had come up in the path out front along with some prairie verbena...I hope they like their new home.
The bean clinging to the corn stalk.
This is a measurement of two things...The size of the baby Redbud and also the height of the Mexican Petunia. It was nearly 3ft in the fall and it froze to the ground...first time in 3 years.
I had to rush in because it started raining again and I found BobCat and Persephone crashed out on the fainting couch enjoying a rainy day as I plan to!
Happy Gardening!
