Rain drops on roses.
It isn't a whole lot of rain yet, but it's the first actual, real rain in four months.
Yesterday Seattle had the distinction of having the worst air quality in the world! Today it's much better. We still could use some real, cleansing rain and wind, but we'll take what we can get.
We have cleaned out beds. There will be more to do once we get a frost.
About the only other color we have on leaves so far is this bonsai. Most deciduous trees are mostly still green, except for those that are just brown.
But the seasons are slowly progressing. There'll be no frost on the pumpkins, but there might be raindrops!
Nice, I'm sure all the plants are appreciating the rain. We're expecting some tomorrow but then it will turn to snow. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beauty of your gardens.
Been hearing how bad your air was. Hope you weren't working out in it. At least all your pictures looked smoke free.
ReplyDeleteOur moisture situation here is the same as yours. We've had a few light showers. there's still no moisture in the forecast.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't much but the rain did manage to clear the air and settle the dust. Hopefully after the weekend we'll get more.
ReplyDeleteI was with friends today who was telling me that their son (living in Seattle) mentioned how bad the air quality was. I hope the rain helped to totally cleanse the air. I'm hoping for more rain here also.
ReplyDeleteHurray for rain!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a wonderful thing to see the rain, and actually being able to breathe deeply! That was a long dry spell for us.
ReplyDeleteThe rose is amazing. Four months is a long time to go without rain.
ReplyDeleteThank God for the rain. Seattle needed it.
