Pretty in red

Another week is ending and we finally got a great soaker of a rainstorm after weeks of drought and heat. My plants are very happy as am I. I’ve been trying to grow grass (no, not that kind!) from seed and the ground has to stay moist. Well, with no rain and 90 plus heat for weeks, my grass growing has been quite a challenge. Now I’ve heard on the news that we may get rain through the weekend and into next week. Yippee!! Of course that means the lawn will grow and need cutting. The work never ends, but since I love the work I don’t mind it.




This week’s flower is an orchid. I used to think it was a Vanda, but an orchid-wise friend of mine insisted it is not. I don’t really know or care what kind it is. All I know is it is hanging on a coconut palm and is very prolific. It blooms several times a year and I’ve split it into two other orchids and placed one on the arbor over my Koi pond and the other in an oak tree. We’ll see how the orchid children do in their new environments.



I really don’t have much to say today except enjoy the rainy weekend doing the rain things you like to do.
