REDISCOVERING MYSELF THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY

Random 5 Friday

1. Rain in May!   We had three very warm days and then the storm hit last night.  Rain, hail, thunder and lightning.  After the initial "blast," which dropped 1/2 inch of rain, the weather settled and the steady rain began.  This morning, the rain gauge had double last night's first rainfall.  Well, I don't have to run the sprinklers for a couple of days!  Joining with Nancy's Random Five Friday


2. I just planted my first African daisy plants and the rain almost drowned them!  


3. The bowl of succulents sits on the porch, but close enough to the edge that the rain saturated the soil and brightened up the hen-and-chicks. Succulents are a new plant for me this year; hopefully, these are ones that will "winter over." 


4. This white hawthorn tree is loaded!  It doesn't smell very good, but the honeybees love it, and I love honeybees.  Any tree that blooms is covered in blossoms this spring.  A warmer, wetter spring must be the reason.  (It's also almost a month early!)


5. It's flip-flop season and 7-year-old Kennedy is sporting some jeweled ones.  I'm wearing flip-flops now, but I don't photograph by own ugly feet.

too much rain is a problem, but too little is an awful problem

Cute flip flops ... it is that time. Gorgeous hawthorn. I love succulents and should give them a try. I think I have a good spot for some. Enjoy the rain. When it rains here, I wish all we got was 1/2 inch!
