Here we are, day two of 31 Days! Going from Rain to snow {Rain2Snow}. Yes, I’m tired & being corny :-D!
On Saturday morning, this is what we woke up to…….
Yes. Most of it has melted, but it’s still really chilly! I believe winter is close and my flower pots are still on my deck – the plants floating from the amount of rain we’ve had this year. None of my flowers did very well this year. I didn’t plan for a drainage system; in particular not for massive amounts of rain.
I’m talking 2-3 inches of water sitting my poor barrel. Normally, we are dry, dry, dry. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve had to dump this barrel out this summer. I need to now too, so it doesn’t freeze. It would be a nightmare to get replanted next spring/summer.
You see that poor, drowning little white flower {bottom, middle of photo}. That brave little flower was rewarded the pleasure of snow on it’s head, just three weeks after this photo was taken. The rain hardly stopped in between the two dates. Yet, it is still holding it’s head up bravely. I wish I was as content, brave, and hardy as that sweet little flower.
Here are my pink ones in an old coffee pot.
Aren’t they pretty? I love flowers. All flowers. I’m so glad God created an earth with lots of colors. Even in places where people probably won’t see or be able to enjoy it – He created creation to be breath-taking.
I linked up with The Nester for this series {last I looked, there were over 1000!!!!}
