What do you do on a rainy day?

Well, I went to Fido’s. My other favorite dog park is sorta under water, since the Columbia is at flood stage. Well, some places, at least. What’s with all this water stuff? I love it, but……….In-between showers, Mom planted some posies. These were Gerber Daisys.

A few Bracopa–it holds up well when we have heat. (Heat? What’s that?)

Lewisia is one of Mom’s favorites! It’s a Oregon native perennial named after Meriwether Lewis. That guy was everywhere! He even went to 1000 Acres–my favorite outdoor dog park (which is kinda under water, in case you missed that little tidbit). I wonder what it was like when he was there?

Mom just added the yellow one to her collection and she now has 4 different color varieties. She planted the white one below a couple of years ago and it already needs dividing!

This is a Calibrachoa or Superbell. It’s kinda like a petunia–at least it does well in the heat. (We’re still waiting for it, but when it comes–watch out!!)  And guess what’s this Superbell’s called? Tequila Sunrise!! Doesn’t that just make you want to dance?

Oh, and speaking of petunias, Mom bought some BLACK petunias. BLACK. Yep, that’s what I said–BLACK. We don’t have any pictures yet, but just wait! They were not happy with the rain and closed their doors…..

I have to tell you, this is what I did while Mom was planting……Yep! The condo’s still mine!!

So, what have you been doing? I’m going to the Saturday Blog Hop–see you there!!
