Signs of life
Yes, dear hearts, I'm still here. I'm tired of working too much between my two jobs, but I'm surviving.
We've been deluged with rain the past couple of weeks, and that's just what we need. The rainfall totals for the year and the aquifer are both running low.
Everything is green, joyously and vibrantly so. The grass and clover, the plants in my yard are drunk on their extra rations of water!
These elephant ears by the patio are on a mission to repopulate my yard - lots of little ones are coming up.
My rose bushes have finally produced one rose this summer, but it's a glorious one, and it's stayed full all week.
Betsy, always alert to the possibility of thunderstorms, hears the dreaded sound of thunder approaching this evening.
St. Pat's new rain barrel overfloweth
Dear Lord, thank you for the gorgeous colors you give us -- greens and reds, blue sky, crystalline water. Thank you for the gift of life, not only our own, but that which abounds in the world around us. Guide us and instruct is in caring for this life. We know we are only your stewards, and none of it belongs to us. Amen.

No problem about the letter -- thanks for thinking of it. We are having big rain plus thunder and lightning - the T and L is normal -but big rain is unusual for us.
Yay! Rain Barrel!!
Lots of green and even more mosquitoes!!
Pat, those are the most beautiful elephant ears! I love them. Someday, my yard will be populated with them. Thanks for sharing the good pic, especially Betsy.
