Rainy Weekend

Well.. Mother Nature watered the garden this weekend.  :-)  We happily cozied up by the fire and I crocheted and played Words with Friends and also Scrabble Go.  I miss the old Scrabble, this new one is crammed with annoying ads.  If I forget to turn the sound off of my iPhone or iPad the loud and annoying music scares me.. I almost dropped my phone when it started yelling at me.  :-)  I just went out to get some photos of the water saturated garden.  This is my beloved Mock Orange bush.

It's across from the chicken coop.  

This yellow Day Lily is starting to bloom and is covered with buds.

Pink Yarrow.

The moss on the garage/barn roof turns neon lime during rainy days.  Dayle is embarrassed of the moss but I love it.  :-)

The Crocosmia is shooting up in front of the Clematis and the Mock Orange is around the corner.

A zoom with my big Lumix on a Rose Campion flower.  Swoon.

The flower baskets are complaining about the lack of sunshine.  :-)

A huge cherry tree is covered with fruit high up from the ground.  The birds are happy.

4th of July peeking through the porch railing.

I tried to get a photo of the Hummingbirds dining at our feeder but only got his back.  I am wearing a bright pink shirt and they were buzzing me to see if I was a very large flower.  :-)

My friend Shirley brought me this fabulous pot of sedum for my belated birthday gift.  We were not able to meet for my birthday lunch out this year due to Covid.  Isn't it neat?

I have been watching the demonstrations and marches for equality.  I think actual progress is being made.  I think, I hope, that police should be learning that they're actually hired by us to protect US, not to beat us and gas us and hit us with bats.  Those of us who supported NFL players who took a knee to protest police brutality of people of color were right.  We need to spend more of our taxes to uplift those who need help, not pump it into the military and police forces who are being sent to beat us down.  We shall overcome!
