Blooms, embroidery, Tropical Storm 16

Well, we've been getting some much needed rain off and on today as we get stormy weather from Tropical Storm 16. At least it's not a hurricane and we are thankful for that. She'll be coming right over us, the way the prediction shows.

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.


Ixora blooms.






A pretty hibiscus.



I saw this when I was looking out the scullery window.
So grabbed the camera and zoomed in.


A male cardinal is all his glory.









What I've done so far on my latest embroidery project.

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.
