The Flood

I am astonished that I have no posted anything since August 23, 2009. I guess I have been busy, but that hasn't kept me from noticing all the beautiful things in Douglasville. Around the first of September I saw the occasional sumac bush turning bright red. And since then, the dogwoods in my backyard have all colored up. So Fall foliage is soon to be the seasonal flower.

Unfortunately, Douglasville had a horrendous storm last night, and much more rain today so the beautiful things are getting a bath in rain water and gloom. But you should have seen the beauty last night at the lightning illuminated the trees and yards. The colors blue and black painted the scenes in such high drama, I forgot I was afraid of a lightning strike. Fortunately, I had windows to look out. My cats weren't so lucky. I didn't get them in until the wee morning hours.

There are many businesses and schools closed in the county today because of the storm and rain. My husband just couldn't help himself. By 8:30, he was on the road looking to see what he could see. Too bad he didn't take the camera with him. I could have pictures to post.

I promise to keep updating fall foliage and the storm and the flowers.
