Starting raining Friday, and since then, we have had sun showers, light showers, heavy showers, winds and a blimp flying over Fort Lauderdale saluting the First Responders and the lost heroes of too many wars. It is quiet around Gateway and I take a walk every so often in the rain to get out, to get fresh air even if it is wet and then I come back to my haven to have a bite to eat and do one of the many chores on my list that I don't get around to but instead look at my flowers. Walking around Gateway the only color we have left are the purples of the Queen Crepe Myrtle trees which still dot the property after the new owners took out most of the flowering flora we had like Hibiscus, fruit trees, Frangnipini trees, roses, gardenias, etc. Then I sit in the middle of my living room looking at the cacti, the Geraniums, Begonias, the pepper plants with their bloom(S) knowing, for some reason, I will only get 1 pepper on each plant. Now I am tracking the growth of the seeds I bought at The Dollar Tree in April and patiently wait for the first blooms. Okay, okay, I will clean out one draw!!
