Day 29

Today we had 'The Storm', tomorrow we'll brace for 'The Cyclone' ohhhhhhhh!

Ok, so maybe I should take the warnings seriously. I even did take the storm warning seriously preparing the house for possible damage from flying debris etc but, ah, today's storm was not all it was cracked up to be even though the storm clouds rolled in threatening a huge one!
What it did leave however, was a lovely refreshed garden.

The next pic, although not my ONE for the day (I really must restrict myself lol!) I thought I would add because I saw this plant in a new light. I always thought of it as the ugliest plant in the garden, seriously ugly! I don't really like succulents but we agreed to have it planted because it was hardy and we needed a good hardy plant for this area. After the rain today however it sparkled! In true succulent fashion it held it's water but the water looked like glass and shone, the only reason it caught my eye. I even touched it to make sure some hooligan hadn't smashed a bottle in our garden!
