The rain will be wonderful for the gardens,
and for me the gardener. I really miss not having our well.
Here we have the passion vine that has the smaller, paler flowers.

Here we have three different vines taking over the Ixora bush.
Air potato vines, a real pain in the rear to get rid of.
Morning glories.
Passion vines.

************
And if tonight my soul may find her peace
in sleep, and sink in good oblivion,
and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower
then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.

Good night all.
