Chippy Chipmunk is not bothered by all the moisture. He still manages to make his way to the bird feeder for his daily nourishment.
The flowers are happy. These New Guinea Impatiens flourish under an abundant amount of water.
On the down side, I am hoping the seeds in the veggie patch did not get washed away.
We had several inches of rainfall in just a few short hours. Many roads were closed on Friday due to flooding and mudslides.
June thus far has been a very wet one.
Spent some time this weekend perusing this lovely book by Claus Dalby. It has some gorgeous photos as well as featuring famous gardeners such as Vita Sackville-West and Gertrude Jekyll. Certainly a good book to enjoy on a rainy weekend.
Well hope next post I can report that we received an abundance of sunshine.
May all of you have a blessed week.
Hugs
Debbie
"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord." 2 Peter:1:2 (NIV)
We do get so many gifts and such grace from God. All your flowers look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope it didn't wash your garden out - is the only way to know - if it doesn't grow?
Love your cute like chipmunk!
Beautiful post! Same here too much rain with flooding and damages in Missouri. No rain yesterday like we were supposed to and today the same jumping to the 80'sF I did work in my flower garden this morning and also started the big task of digging up all the chocolate mint that took over.
ReplyDeletestorms tonight they say Happy new week hugs Kathy
Lovely photos despite all the rain. I hope your veggie seeds weren't washed away. We had some rain, but luckily it wasn't too bad. I was still able to get out to sketch before it started. I hope you get some sunshine! Enjoy the week!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post, Debbie, and your photos are beautiful! There is so much beauty around us, God has given us so much. Thank you much for sharing, and I wish you a wonder filled week.
ReplyDeleteAbundance of rain topped off days ago as we have had enough.
ReplyDeletePrayers for Sunshine!

We’ve had a lot of rain too but not as much as you had. Wish we could share the rain for the western Canadian wild fires.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of rain around here the last couple weeks. Your flowers are pretty
ReplyDelete"The flowers are happy."
ReplyDeleteWho could ask for anything more?
Hello Debbie. Ohhhh, I HOPE you have gotten some sunshine after all that rain. We had two gorgeous days and today, guess what? Yup. Rain. ha haha Mother Nature likes variety! Thanks so much for all your visits to Writing Straight from the Heart and for your comments, too. They are so appreciated. Here's to a great week! Susan
ReplyDeleteWe have some hot summer days coming and I understand you too! Love the book! Gorgeous photo on the cover! The impatiens does well, we call them Busy Lizzies.
ReplyDeleteToo bad we can't share the rain. We've had a little but need a gully washer to fill the ponds. I loved your photos in the end of May post and hope your day is sunny and bright. (Sorry to be behind, life gets in the way....)
ReplyDeleteYour impatiens look so pretty all drenched with water. They look nice in the silver pot too. I'm glad to hear you got some rain! Lots of rain going on in Texas too. Here in California, we rejoice when the rain comes, as we always remember the times of drought. We are in good shape now, and the lakes are filled. I always enjoy your lovely posts, Debbie. Thank you for the verse today.
