I had planned to take a photo of this larger bush of Justica which gives a lovely show of cheer. I ended up taking this photo through the window while Doug went out to unblock the drain pipe that goes under the garden to let the water flow down to the road. The lawn is still very wet but the small lake has now disappeared.
In spite of all this rain a couple of days ago I came across this lovely Monarch Butterfly.
Any 'rain' we're getting here is no more than a five minute drizzle. I'm not complaining!
ReplyDeleteWe really needed it to start with but have now had enough for the time being.
DeleteA butterfly of hope...where do the go in the winter?
ReplyDeleteGood question. They used to overwinter in the cypress that got burnt down. There are a couple left at the other side of the park so hopefully they are overwintering there. We had a lot fewer Butterflies this year.
DeleteThat's a good amount of rain. Thank goodness we had rain overnight. Nothing like yours but enough to stop everything drying up just yet
ReplyDeleteAccording to this morning's paper the rain gauge nearest to us recorded 126 mm in the 24 hours to 2 p.m. yesterday so that explains it.
