Last week was rainy. This week is set to be rainy. I'm loving the rain. It keeps things cooler, it waters the flowers, and it fights the forest fires.
It's very windy right now and the trees are waving their limbs about wildly. I'm considering going outside to enjoy the wildness.
There was a major thunderstorm this morning, just before 6:00. It woke me up, so I'm sleepy, but I was able to enjoy some epic thunder. I don't know about the lightning since I didn't actually get up.
My plants are growing nicely. The sunflowers are getting tall, the onions seem to be doing well, and the various wild flowers are sprouting; only the bulbs have refused to grow. The first tomato plants died so I tried again; these ones are growing well and might give me tomatoes by fall. I bought some petunia -- purple ones and pink-and-white striped ones -- so that I would have some colour while I wait for everything else to bloom. I like my little balcony garden.
Everything is green and when I go for a walk, there are many yards with flowers blooming. The ducks and geese are enjoying the pond. Last time I was there one of them was sitting on a nest; I should walk down again to see if the eggs have hatched. And I should go to enjoy the red-winged blackbirds.
