We had a thunderstorm overnight. So glad for the rain but there was a casualty.
The very tall sunflower that I just posted about (took the photo Thursday afternoon) came down in the wind.

Alas, no rain on this part of the prairie and even the herbs are looking a little worse for the heat! Even the heat loving basil! Watering as I write!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so sad. :((
ReplyDeleteRain, what is that? We haven't had a lick since the end of June and likely will not again until September as is our summer norm.
Happy to know someone has it. Have a wonderful weekend, GSS.
Our weather is calling for 30% chance the next few days--unfortunately we are headed to the lake in OK for the weekend--would so love to stay and watch it rain!! Hope it pans out for us--glad you got a supply!!
ReplyDeleteI need to get a rain barrel. I have been looking at different kinds, just haven't found the one I like yet. We had bad weather last night and 3" of rain. Have a great weekend.

Rain barrels are great. I started with an unused trash can and dipped it out with a bucket. It just progressed.
