										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here we are, day two of 31 Days! Going from Rain to snow<em> {Rain2Snow}.  Yes, I&#8217;m tired &amp; being corny :-D!</em></p>
<p>On Saturday morning, this is what we woke up to&#8230;&#8230;.<a style="color: #ff4b33; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" href="https://flowersandrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/31-Days.2-1st-snow.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-940" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; cursor: default; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; display: block; clear: both; max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-width: 0px;" title="31 Days.2 1st snow" src="http://thoughtfulescapes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/31-Days.2-1st-snow-682x1024.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="960" /></a></p>
<p>Yes. Most of it has melted, but it&#8217;s still really chilly! I believe winter is close and my flower pots are still on my deck &#8211; the plants floating from the amount of rain we&#8217;ve had this year.  None of my flowers did very well this year.  I didn&#8217;t plan for a drainage system; in particular not for massive amounts of rain.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m talking 2-3 inches of water sitting my poor barrel. Normally, we are dry, dry, dry.  I&#8217;ve lost count how many times I&#8217;ve had to dump this barrel out this summer. I need to now too, so it doesn&#8217;t freeze. It would be a nightmare to get replanted next spring/summer.</p>

<p>You see that poor, drowning little white flower {bottom, middle of photo}.  That brave little flower was rewarded the pleasure of snow on it&#8217;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&#8217;s head up bravely. I wish I was as content, brave, and hardy as that sweet little flower.<br />
Here are my pink ones in an old coffee pot.<a style="color: #ff4b33; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" href="https://flowersandrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/31-Days.2-flowers2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-942" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; cursor: default; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; display: block; clear: both; max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-width: 0px;" title="31 Days.2 flowers2" src="https://flowersandrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/31-Days.2-flowers2.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="960" srcset="https://flowersandrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/31-Days.2-flowers2.jpg 640w, https://flowersandrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/31-Days.2-flowers2-600x900.jpg 600w, https://flowersandrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/31-Days.2-flowers2-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>Aren&#8217;t they pretty?  I love flowers. All flowers. I&#8217;m so glad God created an earth with lots of colors. Even in places where people probably won&#8217;t see or be able to enjoy it &#8211; He created creation to be breath-taking.</p>
<p>I linked up with The Nester for this series <em>{last I looked, there were over </em><em>1000!!!!}</em></p>
