I waited for awhile to do this post because I was hoping it would FINALLY stop raining BUT no such luck!!!!
This is how much rain we got since Sunday when it rained all day and temps. barely got out of the 50's.......
Yep!!! That is 2 MORE inches of rain!!!
Wait!! We got another inch of rain overnight Tuesday!!
We are now up to 3 inches of rain since Sunday!!
And more rain and showers are predicted until this coming Sunday but with some Sun too!!!!!
I think we may need to build an ark!!!

I did end up taking pictures of my back yard Cottage Garden in between the rain drops and the few times that the Sun actually did pop out for a rare appearance!!!!
But first, I want to Thank Jillian, over at Vintage & Co., for featuring my post, The Patio Project, Joe's Side, Part 3, from the Let's Talk Vintage Link Party!!
Thanks so much Jillian!!!
I also want to Thank Kathy, over at Life on Lakeshore Drive, for featuring my post,Summer Patriotic Decor, Part 1, from last week's A Bouquet of Talent Linky Party!
Thanks again, Kathy!!
Please take some time to stop by and link up to these great parties!!
I wish that I had better photos to show you of our back yard Cottage Garden and hopefully, I will once this rain stops and my flowers start to bloom and grow.......
You may remember that I live in a townhouse and have a tiny back yard.......
This is the left side of the garden when you look out from the Patio.........

My tribute to my fur babies who have passed on.......
You can see that the Sun actually was out in this photo........
I planted impatiens in my flower bags and they are filling in nicely....
And this flower box is also planted with impatiens......
I apologize for how sloppy the yard looks as things need a good sweeping but everything is so wet!!
Looking through the yard.....
I planted petunias in this pot.......
I planted more impatiens and begonias......
Looking through the yard.....
That is because of this robin's nest in the tree!!!
They are really pretty at night when they change colors!!
In my next post, I will be sharing some changes that I made and what I planted in my pots in the Patio.......

Please take some time to visit these terrific hosts and all those joining in on the fun!
It looks very delightful, Debbie. . .really! We've had tons of rain, but it's beginning to slow down. Now, we are dealing with the Cottonwood shedding and the midges. Living on Lake Erie, this is quite typical of our June, which always is disappointing in a way, because the roses and peonies have about a week before the invasion. Oh, well! I think we will still have a beautiful and hopefully temperate Summer. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great little garden, so many things to see!! Love the Robin in the tree!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing on Friday Features and the mention above!
Have a great weekend Deb!
Hugs
Karren
I want that sparkly windchime, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping we will get rain, looks like you got most of it though. Your garden looks so pretty. Do you have to weed much or do you have a way of keeping them down. Even when it's terrible dry here, the weeds always peek through. I know you and everyone who visits enjoys your garden .

Debbie, your garden looks lovely. I know our gardens love the rain, however isn't it summer now? We are having some rain and few thunder showers today in sunny California. Thank you for always sharing your pretty posts at DI&DI. Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie! Oh, your weather sounds like what we've had! We only had a couple of days with temps finally getting into the 80s! Now your little patio garden looks so nice! I really have the touch of making things cute! Wish I had half the sun in my backyard as you do. Mine is almost completely shade. Thanks for popping in to see me and yes, blogging has really changed hasn't it. I think it's a little bit of a shame. I know life marches on, but I did love the closeness we all felt long ago. Thanks for staying my blogging buddy!
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi Debbie, your back yard looks so nice the way it is decorated with the flowers and everything.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing each week with us at Cooking and Crafting with J&J.
Enjoy the week.

We seemed not to see the end of rain and then it got dry and hot and we are thirsting. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteYou may be getting a lot of rain but it sure is making everything look nice and green! So neat that the sun was able to peek out and you could get some nice sunny pictures. Love the flower bags and the pretty hummingbirds!!
ReplyDeleteDDebbie your garden is so full of pretty flowers and decorations. I could easily spend a couple of hours just admiring everything. That fairy garden is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I am amazed that you have used every available space to plant so many lovely flowers. The memory garden for your fur babies is so sweet. We were getting a lot of rain, but suddenly none! Thanks for sharing at Gardens Galore!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wet spring... but it is so nice to have the gardens growing again. :) I'm so glad we don't have all of the snow like you did in one of your pictures!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I hope you get some sunshine soon! The Impatiens look like they are enjoying the rainy weather. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
You pack a lot of punch in a small space. It looks great, no sunlight needed with all the gorgeous color and flowers you've added Penny!
ReplyDeleteBoy, you had a lot of rain! I hope you are finally drying out. We had rain for a week straight...it is finally drying out and I actually got to pull the weeds from my flower bed today.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty--we could use some WET around here ;) Love that vertical flower box with impatiens! Thanks for sharing @Vintage Charm!
