Rain - February 25, 2026
While I'm not getting the snow some of you are (my son back east and has an "historic amount of snow"), it's been very rainy.
The far back of the yard has it's usual puddles. No, puddles is not the correct word. Flooded areas. They're nothing that doesn't happen with every heavy rain.
I put these down for stepping stones.
Yesterday Mickey considered going outside...
changed his mind...
and took up a drier location to watch the rain.
This morning I attempted to catch a falling water droplet. My back started aching from bending over so long I had to quit.
That's a flowering plum I got years ago from a former co-worker. He son had planted a pit in a container. I had it growing in a big ceramic one on the deck until last April when I planted it into the herb garden. I thought it was pot bound, but it wasn't. Still, it's been happy. It's growth was stunted, so it's now a miniature flowering plum!

You may have been dissatisfied with your raindrop photos but I liked them, and liked the story of the tree's origin. From a pit! That was a lucky find. I really like it in your 2025 garden.
ReplyDeleteThe droplet pictures are great. I love your dog, how cute.
ReplyDelete...yep, water doesn't run uphill!
ReplyDeleteYour flooded garden reminds me of the school I was at. So much of the school ends up underwater when it rains. Mickey has the right idea. Just watch it from somewhere dry.
ReplyDeletePoor Mickey! A smaller tree is easier for picking fruit, that turned out in your favor.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! (Mickey says "nope") :-)
ReplyDeletePhotos are beautiful. Sorry about the flooding.
