Thunderstorms and heavy rain rolled through two days this week. All of a sudden, the sun came out, and the rain was just a mist. I knew that there had to be a rainbow somewhere in the eastern sky. I ran out to the front of the house, and sure enough, it was a beauty.
The rain chains got a workout that day. Thank goodness it cleared up because that was the day two Monarchs hatched. At least they had a sunny afternoon to take flight in.
The patio blocks always flood when it rains that hard, and I like to capture the swirls from the raindrops.
Have you had downpours like this where you live? I have to admit this summer has had some real doozies.
At least I have not had to water the gardens too many times, lol. That saves a lot over the summer months.
The Limelight Hydrangea tree is holding up considering the rain.
I had two more beautiful Dahlia flowers open this week, but I think that might be it for this year.
Guess who I almost stepped on when I was picking zucchini in the garden. The female frog was all the way in the veggie garden from the pond. That was a first! She must have gotten tired of waiting on the rock for bugs to fly by.
That's it for today. I have to take Mika for her morning walk, as hubby's knee is giving him a rough time. Have a great weekend, everyone.
