Yesterday it rained like crazy - thunder, lightening, more thunder and then more lightening. When it was all I went out side and discovered that one of my hydrangea bushes was pretty much flattened from the weight of the rain water. I almost cried but then I realized only a few branches were actually broken the rest just needed a gentle shaking off. So, the injured were brought inside to the dining room table next to my glorious air-fern. Then, this morning I went out on my back deck and there was this little sweet-pea. I've never been able to get sweet-peas to flower before. Sadly, the stem was broken - I'm guessing rain or raccoon - so, in the house it came.
