I am a sunshine kind of person, while I appreciate the rain and all it does to us, extended periods of clouds drives me crazy. I find myself staring into the sky, searching for any sign of a break in the gloom, turning on every light in the house, looking into the business end of a flashlight! As you from the upper mid-west might imagine, the electric company is seeing a bump in usage at my house!
One thing cloudy days are useful for is taking pictures. The even light of a cloudy day is not a BAD thing, but I'd rather fight with the shadows from the sun. Le sigh.
So, this is what was growing at my house yesterday....

| Pansies in a metal coffee pot |

| Pansies in an old coal bucket |
 |
| Lemon lilies |
 |
| Columbine |
 |
| False indigo |
 |
| Alpine dianthus and Sempervivum |
 |
| Rock garden peonies |
 |
| Ladies Mantle foliage |

| Hosta foliage |
It is possible to find beauty, even on the gloomiest of days! And it helps to keep some sunshine tucked away for just such emergencies!
 |
| Blowing you kisses of joy! |
Until next time, be a joy giver!
