plays with the lights

Light and Dark
rain and then shine
South Side Garden
We may be running out of warm, sunny days, again. Expecting rain for tomorrow and the weekend. The weather forecast for today (Thursday) prompted a thorough mowing of the yard.
I am hoping to transplant the evening promroses from the north and south side gardens to my backyard wildflower garden, once they quit blooming.
Rainshowers and thunderstorm
A very rainy day
Yellow in Raindrops
And there was a thunderstorm…
And so the garden was wet and windblown when I got outside with the Scampers, this morning.
Yesterday evening with the Scampers:
I was awakened by a Weather Warning alert via my cell phone, a little after 4:00 this morning. Looked at the weather radar and decided that I would not be able to stay awake for the entire show, and so unplugged the electronics and crawled back into bed. I think I got another three hours of sleep before it was time (for the Scampers) to wake up.
Forecast for this afternoon is “30% chance of severe thunderstorms”. I am waiting inside until UPS delivers my book order (Red Waters Rising, by L. A. Gilman). The current temperature is 77°F, headed for 89°.
I am hopeful that I will get more seeds planted tonight, before the next rain showers move through. This evening, I can read some of the second issue of the Tanka Society of America’s Ribbons. I received the first issue for the year earlier and put it aside where I could read a little bit each evening. It disappeared before I ever got to it, that day. I have searched everywhere without finding it again.
