Very Wet...

 It's been awful wet around these parts. Rained so hard the visibility was about a quarter mile.
  Then In the afternoon yesterday, the sun came out. I did sit on the porch for a bit praying, taking photos. I always put my containers under the covered part when the rain is heavy.  Then get them back out for sunshine. :)
   The birds were out singing and looking for food. This robin is the one with the raggedy nest on the drain pipe. She was not happy with me sitting out. Oh chill momma birdy, I like to be outside too.
 Here's our great granddaughter Layla , all ready for the wet weather. She just hasn't gotten the hang of her umbrella yet. I see she loves the big puddles though. LOL
 Late last night there were some tornado warnings for Frankfort and Kokomo. Two storms rolled in Tipton at the same time...you all know what that does with satellite TV..so no view of the weather. I just go to the basement and watch it on a TV with rabbit ears.  A lot of rain was dumped in a short time....the sump pumps came on for a few  minutes.  Then the worst of the storm was gone.
  Today was more heavy rain. It's standing in the fields a bit. But it's to clear up this afternoon and be pleasant.  Happy day. :):) Wishing all of you a beautiful safe Sunday. XO

  1. Hi Susie, Layla is so cute! Remember the Morton Salt girl illustration...when it rains, it pours!
    We are having heavy rain and thunder today. I hope you will see the sunshine later today. xoxo

    1. Mildred, You know, I just love that Morton girl. :):) Layla will be my very own. LOL. Hope your rains were not too heavy. I heard a thunder yesterday that last for the longest time and then I wondered just how long was that streak of lightening. :) Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie

  2. I love that photo of Layla. That is priceless. You should frame that one! Yes, we got the very heavy rain and hail and wind just before my granddaughter's prom, but it turned out okay.

  4. Lol, Layla reminds me so much of my granddaughter Megan. When I took her to England when she was five years old, she insisted on carrying her "brumbrella" upside down the entire time we were there :)
    Looks like you have had more than your fair share of rain, but ooh how it makes the flowers happy :)
    Hugs,

    1. Jo, That just is so funny about your granddaughter. I think all kids want an umbrella but really don't know how to carry them. Love the way she pronounced it. :):) Oh dear more rain coming in this new week. But right now the sun is shining and I love it. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

    1. Carol, If only we could get an inch of rain every week...that would be plenty. I am enjoying my sunshine at this moment. Blessings to you, hope you get sunny days also. xoxo, Susie

  6. Layla is adorable. How fun to play in the rain puddles. We got about the same weather as you had. Just glad the sun came out in the afternoon. Rain predicted all this week too. I guess the April Showers waited until May this year! Have a great new week.

  9. Suzie, I hope you get some sunshine! I'm wishing the same for us. :) We've had a ton of rain and even had freezing temps for two nights. It's suppose to be sunny all this week and then rainy next weekend. Hoping to get the rest of my pots planted. Your little grand is so cute with her umbrella!
    hugs,

    1. Jann, I know it snowed in SLC last week. Our grandson's wife snapped us some photos. Yes, I want some nice reasonably warm sunny days. I don't like hot 80-90 degree days either.LOL. I need to plant more things here also...my cold and the weather has held me back. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

  10. Susie, we had lots of rain in April, but it seems to be the last of it, and it's getting warmer here and definitely signs of summer coming. Layla looks so cute with her umbrella. I love to see your porch all covered with rain and snow, it's so pretty. And I'm glad you got to sit outside just to enjoy the sun while it lasted. I love to hear what's going on around my friend's neck of the woods, Susie.

    love, ~Sheri

    1. Sheri, Our little Layla is such a funny little thing. I just would love more time with her. You know when both parents work and their schedules are often evenings...it's hard to get everyone together. I did sit out this Monday afternoon. I like to just look at the birds and flowers. Hope you are having some good adventures. Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie

    1. Debby, I don't think I would like 103 temperatures. You know some people will say..it's a dry heat. once the temps get so high..it's all hot. Wishing you a cooler day. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  12. Hi Susie

    We have also been getting rain (and even some snow) the past two weeks. It's a good thng here as we are usually very dry and fire danger is high. Your granddaughter looks adorable in her raincoat, boots and umbrella. Those puddles were waiting for her to jump in!
