@canadanna those flowers did brighten my day! Thanks! DD came again this morning and worked me like a dog! We had so much more to donate that the boxes are in the kitchen until it dries out enough to put the boxes from today in the back of the truck. It poured while we were opening stored boxes. Had to finally close the garage door. Had tornado warnings, but we only had wind and a little thunder with the rain.
All the garden supplies and tools are in a few crates to move to the back for summer. I forgot I had quite a bit of it ( and had already replaced some). Letting go of "stuff" is liberating. I know I wouldn't have gone through all that stuff unless pushed a little.
@Esperanza I hope your succulents are going to alright. Can you lift them from the pots, or are there too many?
I think this rain started the night of April 18th. We were at a neighbor's party and we were all complaining about how little rain we had. That night it really came down and it has been raining since then! Be careful what you wish for, I guess!
