here comes the sun

Joy and rapture. A few days' break in all the pouring rain we've been having has been nice. Not that I haven't enjoyed the rain. I like pretending that we have seasons here in southern California whenever possible. And I love cold weather. But I like sunshine too, and the blue sky it brings along with it. My drenched and confused plants were particularly relieved. Look how happy this little trumpet vine is to have finally found the warmth of the sun!

Oh, do I love a turquoise sky!

These plants were the happiest by far - being used to the hot, dry, (revolting), weather we normally have here. If you listen very closely I think you can actually hear them singing. Not for long though - I hear another storm is on it's way. Which means I need to get out the buckets for my family room again, since it rains in there too.......  :/
