Around here,,,It's Raining!

Come on in and have a look...it has been raining a lot lately,,,
There was a lovely package from the grandchildren ...Christmas cards, calendars, Birthday Cards, Valentine day Cards...all home made...how wonderful! Just what this Grandma loves!
All the toys even decided to come out and look at them....
there was an hibiscus or two on the tree....mainly everything is lush, and green, and wet from the rain....
my tree out the back is weeping...I wonder why?
a lovely tranquil spot on Sunday after church....for a cuppa....
the Crepe Myrtle ( Lagerstroemia indica) or Pride of India was flowering beautifully there. Ah, well, that makes up for the lovely buckinghamia flowers (Ivory Curl) that I missed while I was away, not to mention the Indian labernum that flowers beautifully every year after Christmas at the front gate,
it is so green...everywhere one looks, there is new green growth...so different from when I left here for the US in November....
oops...sorry about repeating myself there....
and now it rains....
lovely lovely rain.... in the front yard....
rain out the back....
late last year, all I could see from the back verandah were the ugly new wooden fences...and now the greenery is hiding them...hooray....
so it is a quiet world for me today having returned home last week....
plenty to catch up on here ...

Having to rest, doctor's orders, for my horrible sciatica...is a little difficult, when there are so many things to be done...oh well, one thing at a time I guess...
