Summer has begun.
There are raindrops on roses this morning. That makes me happy. It has been a long time since we had any rain and how can we be the Evergreen State without rain?
Yesterday evening, Friday, Summer Solstice, after a busy day, we spent a few minutes over at Seahurst Park watching the clouds gather and then part for the late setting sun. These photos were taken at 8:00 pm. Daylight will linger a few more hours.
It began to rain about 4:00 am and has now slacked off by 11:00 this morning. It was enough to get everything wet.
We have rain gauges, but we know if we have significant rain when the patio gets wet under the big umbrella of the cedar tree. It takes about a quarter of an inch.
Tom's fancy leaf geraniums, in front of the golden hop vine and beside one of several wood piles, are moisturizing.
And I can be lazy. :-)
Thank you for these lovely pictures, LInda. I needed them.
ReplyDeleteRainy days are good days to relax, for certain. We had 2.25 inches of rain on Thursday night, and it has been raining off and on ever since. I need to go out to check the rain gauge again.
ReplyDeleteYou can also be very informative about your plants. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I like Tom's assortment of fancy leaf geraniums💗.
ReplyDeleteAnd whiskers on kittens. Such a nice day!
ReplyDeleteJust like Honolulu Aunty... you've given me an ear worm. I'm hearing Julie Andrews singing My Favorite Things now. Beautiful photos, Linda!
ReplyDeleteNice geraniums ! We need rain here too but not hail unfortunately tomorrow evening we will have hail, thunderstorm and strong wind again!
ReplyDeleteTom sure has a variety of pretty geraniums. The rain drops on roses is a very pretty photo.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda. I received a mail from you or Tom did you send it or there is a problem with my mailbox?
ReplyDeleteI did not answer the mail and prefer to ask you before on your blog.
