Mine too, Holly! What a shame!
I know they had a few more good days left in them!

I would love to know how many cups (NOT inches) of rain this area got yesterday!
NEVER have I seen such a flooding, hard rain, with small hale mixed in, in my life!

There were "rivers" of water flowing through my patio---
My dysfunctional gutters on the house--just gushing over! Water streaming straight down!
Half of my back yard was a shallow pond.......
We had TWO such downpours yesterday! Short break in between....

I went out and tried to take pictures--w/o a flash---which slows down the shutter speed---
and most of them are a big blur.

Will pick one of the more acceptable ones here.

Not that you can tell--but this is one of the pots (with nothing in it yet--thank God!)
at the post of my patio. The gutters above were useless--the water was coming down
in a sheet and just flooding in this pot. It is still full of water as I write this.....

Looking forward to seeing you both! Gita

PS! Rick gets to pig out on more of my Potato salad.......:o)
