    We have had some much needed rain the past two days. With temperatures in the 90's & very little rain for the past two months my flowers are parched!
    I was away for 4 days so I took my camera on my morning stroll around the yard.

    The rain was not all that made your garden happy. I'm sure you had a lot to do with that. It is lovely.

    Looks beautiful! We've had a lot of rain this year (after 9 years of drought) and my garden in booming! I hope your rain keeps up.

    I am very thankful for the rain...we are 6" below normal so far this year. It was so nice not having to water today! Thanks for all the nice comments, I am glad you enjoyed the photos.
