This is the evening

It bucketed it down last night and into this morning. I’m glad in a way because the garden has been so dry, but I think the remaining tomatoes are having a nuclear melt down. The rain spread the blight but that’s to be expected here in the Northwest.

So I picked the rest of the tomatoes and put the greenish ones on the window sill to ripen. The rain has been wonderful for the grass and the flowers though. My orchids have started to bud and bloom again. I love house plants that can be ignored for most of the year and still look fantastic!

And one other thing I love this time of the year, the warm humid days, is the mossy green that envelopes anything which I left outside.

Morgan is so not impressed. She’s a real kitty cat and absolutely hates the rain. Actually she even hates the morning dew! Eventually she gets used to it somewhat, but still hates it. Look at her unimpressed little face.

But the dahlias are still going strong. I’m so lucky to live in this climate where these beautiful plants grow so well. 🙂
