White Blooms.......

It is raining and the hardy geranium would probably enjoy being in it not stuck inside looking out to the bright light.  I enjoy seeing the plants surviving the store room in their window and now putting out blooms.

We find rain to be annoying at times but the all night storms are a blessing as we have been in drought for two summers.  The rain storms hit all through Saturday evening and then through the night we had louder thunder and lightening .

It was not for me a good night's sleep between the storms waking me and the little dog. Button, who's hearing is less, still does wake me for the near hits of lightning.

A gentle rain this morning washes away dirt and puts the seed pods from the trees onto the ground.  The brown pods from the silver maple coat the ground, patio, and my car.  They do dry up and fall away once it warms outside.   We are at 46 degrees right now but we were at 84 degrees F. yesterday. We go from a few days of California weather and right into hot summer here in Iowa.

Very pretty photo. So thankful for your rainfall. So sorry Button was restless due to the storm. Happy to hear you are experiencing warm temps in the afternoon.
