One thing you learn about living in Florida…don’t bitch about the weather because it’ll change in the next 15 minutes anyway. After doing some moderate whinging about the complete lack of precipitation over the past few weeks, we were rewarded yesterday with an epic deluge, 3 inches of rain in about an hour.
The planting beds were awash:
The enclosure was awash:
The pool damn near to overflowing:
But oh how the plantsies do love it. Here’s the corn, heading on towards 8 feet tall:
The delice de table melon:
The more-scary-every-day pumpkins:
Then, as the clouds recede, the double rainbow:
“Sorry I made your corn fall over,” it says. And, of course, all is forgiven.

We got .10 inches. Yee-ha! Better than nothing.

Why do we get all the rain at one time?

Not fair! We haven’t gotten any rainbows with our near-daily rain.
Don’t you just love the pumpkins? I had such fun growing sugar pie pumpkins last year, but they are a bit frightening. They need their own yard or something.

@Caitlin: Nooo, do not love the pumpkins…FEAR the pumpkins. At least we’ll no longer have to mow the backyard…
