Dear Liza,
This week we saw some real rain, which was a relief after our too- hot summer. I wanted to properly appreciate it, so out I went!
I didn’t have far to go to find beauty. Auntie Bridgett’s angel and spider plants were much improved by the weather. The gnomes were lurking about, as usual.
Raindrops hitting the puddles remind me why I love concentric circles.
I stopped by our plot at the Blair Community Garden. Only three new tomatoes were ripe, but Morgan and Abby’s corn was shiny and tall.
My late blooming pumpkin, Leo, seems to be coloring up a bit.
I continued on to Laurelhurst Park, which was mostly deserted. A few diehard dogs and their owners were at the off leash area, and the puddles grew all along the base of the hills. This young lady found a good spot to enjoy a conversation with a loved one.
I am a firm believer that rain makes everything prettier, and this rain drop-enhanced rose proved me right.
By the time I got home I was pretty soaked, but so much richer for all the beauty. Now to get dry and have a snack!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
