sunshine after the storm

Another terrific thunderstorm this evening.

It's amazing how the plants stand up to the ferocious wind and rain as they pass over.

The pictures this evening in the garden show what a beautiful place we live in.

our favorite fuchsia

the picnic lawn - great when it's mown!

crocosmiae; daisies; mountains
