Tropical Storm Andrea


Hi Everyone,  It is a rainy day in South Florida and I guess all over Florida and up the Eastern coast of the U.S.    Tropical Storm, Andrea, is out there in the ocean, churning up some windy and rainy weather. We are also under a tornado watch today. It seems to just rain in bands off and on, and right now it has cleared a bit.

But it is a great day to just stay inside, so I have been in the studio staring a new painting. I peeped out earlier and took these photos of the back walk leading to the porch ........WET
and this photo in back of the house of the patio and little back garden. The grass is really green now and you can hear it growing if you listen really close! Don't make fun of those two lions guarding the garden. They are really not to my liking, but my hubby had them, so to please him I have installed them in the back of the house. They really don't deter any of the wild animals from entering the garden. Cayenne  pepper does a much better job sprinkled among the plants!


Raindrops splashing on the driveway. What a gray day, but we do need the rain!

A friend gave me this Passion Vine in a pot yesterday and I wanted to get it planted, but it will have to wait. It is very happy though, and last night it bloomed! Was I surprised this morning to see that bloom!

  1. I hope the storm turns out not to be too severe. Nothing like the terrible tornadoes in Oklahoma, I trust.

  2. When you were getting all the rain, we were getting lots of heat and sun in Northern Ireland!
