You had me captivated with the downpour and every single word resonated perfectly thereafter.

It is, I think, an attempt to create our own little world. We can put the trees where we like, and the flowers where we like, and the vines where we like. And, in the end, it is green and colorful and fun to be in. We, of course, remember to give thanks to The Creator for all the things he supplied us with. And, surely, He is thanking us for lightening His load just a bit!Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699862913139313405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-83562090504245452202010-06-01T11:47:46.185-04:002010-06-01T11:47:46.185-04:00"there seems to be no real “navy” in the flow..."there seems to be no real “navy” in the flower world.

It's a bit cloudy still today, and very damp, but with none of the MUGGY one expects from the day-after-a-rainstorm in June.<br /><br />I'll make some drippy pictures this afternoon, when the sun promises to peek out. Little One and I toured all the acreage this a.m. and the number---bee-jillions as I said---of little leaf-sets peeking out of the ground of the garden, well it's unimaginable.<br /><br />And the Gladiola bulbs, planted eight days ago, have six-inch spears standing tall and proud.<br /><br />To Gatto999, our newest member, far away in Italy:<br /><br />Grazie ed il Benvenuto! <br /><br />E nessuno con Emmett Brown per un amico è soprattutto benvenuto!RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-88237322283534866892010-06-01T11:24:02.052-04:002010-06-01T11:24:02.052-04:00Sounds like a lovely day!
