Not A Moment Too Soon

A couple of quick yard pictures. Our cardinal vines are still growing, although their days may be numbered with cooler temps on the horizon. The largest one is now sending out feelers, trying to attach itself to whatever it can find nearby. I love the shapes of these leaves.

Here's my freebie plant that came up on it's own, covered in blooms.

In anticipation of the four to five days worth of rain they're forecasting later this week, I've rearranged my rain barrels. I've installed two 55-gallon barrels that my parents picked up for me while they were here, and have decided to use a 30 gallon barrel previously used for storing bird seed for overflow.

My four 33 gallon barrels are now lined up under the eaves by Brenna's bedroom window, to catch whatever comes off the side of the house there. A total of approximately 260 gallons worth of storage.
