Keep Calm And Carry On

We had a humdinger of a rain late last night, drenching everything in sight.

The ground is still too wet to plant in, so the two new pots of Penstemons will have to wait a little longer to find their new home.

Eight white-tail deer were happily nibbling away on the front lawn this morning, not a care in the world, and no more scared of human presence than the man in the moon.

I wonder sometimes just who owns the property.

The county leaders have decided to cancel our fair this year, the largest in the state.

Times, they are a 'changing.

 

 

And The Rains Came

We have been deluged with rain today, buckets of the stuff......unrelenting and soaking everything in sight.
The wind is howling and creating havoc.
The county fair has opened it's gates, with an expected 500,000 visitors.
Never fails.........

We're All Downstream

We've had rain....
The kind of non-stop gully-washing rain, that drenched the parched grass and flowers, and gave a respite to the Summer heat.

Non-stop rain.
In some nearby areas, up to ten inches has fallen since midnight last night.

So much rain.
They've canceled the County Fair events this evening....can you imagine ?

I puddle up the neighborhood
I make the postman mad
I wake the worm and spank the frog
Sleeping on his lily pad
And when the tulips in their beds
Nod happily, it's true,
I shake the petals of their hands
And say, How do you dew?
