Colleen has asked us to share our day.
I now start my day without any electronic device in my hand for an hour. This is when I have my first cup of coffee sitting outside on my patio. After I’m done communing with nature, I get my phone.
This is my refuge-where I get inspiration, where I thank Gaia for this abundance. (I took three photos and put them together for a quick walk in my back yard. I’ll also post each photo separately.)
Here’s my haiku.
venerate
flora and fauna
oasis
Thank you for reading!

Oh my! Your beautiful yard submerged! I trust that nature is resilient. It will come back…. Until then I’m hoping that you can find consolation in the hanging planters, wind chimes and bird feeders!

Hugs much appreciated. I’m a bit bleary, even though it could have been so much worse. I’m sure writing about it will help…. but first a nap.

I hope it isn’t too bad. It floods over here regularly, but it recedes in just a few hours once the storm leaves. I hope it is that way for you as well. 🙂

It did recede but left a lot of debris, knocked out fence, got a bit into house. But it will all get back to normal.
Where are you located?

No clue. It was unexpected. The clouds dumped on a few cities near around Fort Worth. We actually got lucky compared to some.
