Hello from Tennessee

Martin Scorsese looking at me doubtfully this rainy morning. He is named thus because of his long white eyebrows!

The view from the verandah on this misty, moisty morning in TN.

Raindrops - not on roses yet, but with these mild temperatures, maybe it will not be long!

 

 

We are here enjoying a brief visit with our daughter and son in law. pity about the rain, but it adds atmosphere- or that is what we are telling ourselves!

And soft, refreshing rain

We had it last night . The entire garden, including the grass seed we planted last night seemed to bounce back to life. Hoses are great in a pinch but you cannot beat real rain. This is the ONLY corner of our garden that is civilized at all right now.This was taken just at supper time and it all looked so happy. Me too: )

Rain !

We have had a whole day of wonderful rain- just what the doctor ordered. Lawns and gardens are parched. I am so fearful for the trees and shrubs going into winter so dry. This will really help a lot!

Yesterday, we had a happy surprise. We thought the hummingbirds had abandoned us for this year . The last one we had seen was on 15 Septemberand the , lo, and behold, yesterday at noontime, a little female appeared at the feeders and she continued to visit all afternoon. Today was pretty wet so I did not notice her again but if it is dry tomorrow, she may be back.
