You could say we are getting some rain. It has been raining now for 3 days

This is the day after the ditch went over its banks the Holly hocks didn't mine at all

but the poor Irises didn't do as well

This is just before it went over Sunday, it rained so hard we watched

as the water came up and over.

This is how it got out to the street in our side yard. No water got in the house.I will just have to do some work on the Iris bed but there are people that are losing there homes from the floods of rivers and lakes in Arkansas and Missouri it is bad.

When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.Genesis 8 :11

I wish you could smell this lemon herb if you enlarge the photo you can see the tiny lavender blooms. It is ready to------
make some lemon herbal tea or-----

lemon meringue cupcakes

but for the wide world's joy."By Henry Ward Beecher

The blue Iris from Lowe's has bloomed again this year. The flowers and trees are growing with lush greens and colors in all of this rain.
Remember last year when we went on a quest to find Aunt Minnie? Frank and Cloody were moving and they gave me this yellow Iris and so its name is dubbed Frank .

Now this is dubbed Cloody in PinkI am sad to say the Iris I begged from the lady that helped us find Aunt Minnie was dubbed "Aunt Minnie " the white Iris did not bloom yet if at all.
