A Very Wet Day

 It is a rainy day and the wood of the red bud tree is darker from all of the moisture. We don't see the branch structure all summer as the leaves are so thick. Now as the leaves are falling we can see the sculptural form of the tree.  In the background you cans see the neighbor's maple tree is now turning red. The zinnias in the foreground are now getting a gray blight on their leaves. I cut another bouquet from the zinnias so we can see them up close. They do put out a lot of color for us to see as we gaze out at the backyard. 

 

The morning glories have spread and are growing in cracks of the stairs. I couldn't get that by choice but I like it now as the fall weather is coming. It hasn't tripped me up so far.

 The iris are really liking their new beds and you can see that they are really growing. Maybe I will actually see some blooms next late spring. 

I will share again a newer view of the dinner plate hibiscus. It is like the rainfall and the cool weather doesn't bother it. 

 

 

 

I shared this on my Photo a Day yesterday of the wild violet in bloom. It isn't a surprise as the seasons of spring seem to be returning because of the nice rains in all of September. We are getting more rain today and they say it will hang around all day. I went out and walked a little in the yard this morning just because I wanted to get out. My hair didn't get too wet. I am still dealing with the double vision with one great eye and one bad eye. I am doing better at walking around with one eye closed. I have the good eye that now needs a reading glass but the old eye needs my old glasses. I am doing better with my corrected eye and can clearly see that  I have lots of bruises on my face from the cataract removal procedure. I will just struggle through until the next one is fixed. I am taking my wife over to the grocery store and I will trail along with her today so we can pick up a few things. 

Thanks for stopping by today.
