Too bad we have to take the bad with the good, huh? If it was all good, it'd be Heaven here....

You've flowers are lovely and your yard looks inviting. We do not have h/birds here so I do enjoy photos when they appear.

...ah the beautiful little hummers; lucky you Barb'. I love your roses; look so healthy and it is lovely to have a garden space to nurture isn't it? Once I get out into the garden, time just dissapears. Agree with you about the storms and being within walking distance of a huge lake system, storms seem to come along with a big bang around here.
