The weather today deteriorated after some great sunny spots in the morning. Clouds and wind picked up and then it began to rain. Pour would be a better term. The winds were major and blew rain against the side of the house with patio doors and bedroom windows. It was loud. At one point, I thought it was thunder, but it was the wind hurling the heavy rain against the windows. It will take time to begin to understand the sounds of storms in the new house, I know. But this one was really something.
I chose to move the perennials to the garage today. They are finished for the season, but waiting to more these in the coming few days would not work as well. The expected heavy rainfall would mean the pots would be saturated with water. The temperatures will be dropping, so this would just freeze the soil in the pots. This has two drawbacks. It can crack the pots necessitating new purchases next season. Also, when sitting in the garage, this would thaw and leave water all over the floor. So, I moved them inside today. To be honest, there will just be many more storms so it is time to do this one chore. The plants will pick up again in the spring. For now they can rest indoors.
Lyrics of the selection today are simplistic, but state what I was thinking through the day. There may be a deeper meaning here, but on the surface the words carry a simple message, too. Keep safe. Enjoy!
