Here is a look at the sky earlier, before the rain started.

At the moment I'm not sure what this sweet rose is.

Below is Tork. Look at that serious expression on her face. I figured she either had a glass snake or a lizard, so went closer for a look after taking her picture. It was a big ole' moth. Tork jumped away and I got the moth to climb a stick and took it to some shrubbery.

Our lovely orange hibiscus. I didn't not see the visitors when I took the pictures.

This is a view I see out the scullery window, only zoomed in.
There are pink crepe myrtle blooms,
a pale orange flowering vine,
and the Incense passion flowers.
That is a storage building in the back with tools hanging on the walls.

My favorite of our two different kinds of passion flower.
This one is called 'Incense'.

Thought for today:
Gardening is about
enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil,
getting dirty without feeling guilty,
and generally
taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity.
