Rainy Days and Wild Ways

The rain just keeps on coming here in Central Texas. The plants, grass, and wildflowers sure do love it. We planted some wildflower seeds this year to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Some we planted out front in that little strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street. Some we planted in pots in the backyard. The ones in pots didn't take off like the ones in the ground and I think a bird nibbled up some seeds from the pots then sat on our fence and pooped. This sunflower facing West has grown to about seven feet tall and looks like it might soon decide to walk on over to the back door and help itself to our refrigerator. When the clouds cleared today I went out and snapped this photo.
