Delicious rain

Though all around us there seems to be plenty of rain falling, it's been dry and really hot here for a long time. Yesterday afternoon we enjoyed refreshing cool showers. For once, I didn't have to spend hours dragging the hose around!
Impatiens balfouri
The flowers are drippy and rejoicing
The Japanese indigo seems to have grown overnight.
They even look great as they melt away
Hibiscus
Today there are happy new flowers to take the place of the rain-soaked ones.
Rain-washed grapes. The robins, cardinals and squirrels will be pleased.
