Wet and windy


We've had some horrendous downpours recently, Saturday and Sunday were so thoroughly wet that even the ducks sought cover and I couldn't do any gardening - HAD to do a lot of reading instead, tee hee!

And the tail end of hurricane Bertha brought fierce winds yesterday and today, we've had a few things blown down in the garden but no serious damage was done.  I took a few photos early this morning.







Lots of roses had been beheaded,




a little long-tailed tit was swinging in the wind in the squirrel-proof [yes, it really is!] peanut feeder,

                                                         half of the Rhus at the bottom of the frog pond had been broken off,




















a big stem of the artichoke in the front garden had been floored,













but I was glad to see that the morass the ducks had created around the duck shed was beginning to dry up:
