Today is so dreary, chilly, dark and wet, I feel like posting this radiant flower from last August! Enjoy, dear friends.

3. I hope it's not too bad where you are Peggy

This gorgeous red flower certainly is a day brightener!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. It is, isn't it? Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

I hoped it would brighten everybody's day!

Well, right now it is dark, being nearly 7:30 pm. And it's cold and wet, since the rain has arrived. It's been raining most of the afternoon, and it promises to rain tonight and tomorrow, at the least.

My husband and I are snug in our warm home with plenty to eat and safe places to live in!

Thanks for your nice comments.

[Diamond_Dog]

25. I am glad to hear it!

Let’s hope those storms move out quickly. Stay safe!

I love to share what beauty I see in this world. We all benefit from that.

And believe me, I AM staying dry and warm! We just got a new roof and it's working extremely well!

13. Radiant and glowing. Thank you so much. How bad is it supposed to get

in your area?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Thank you for your lovely remarks, my dear niyad, and You're Welcome!

Not sure how much rain we're supposed to get--maybe 4 inches.

And it's cold, by our standards anyway--in the 50's.

16. Sunshine on a stem! Thank you so much. It's pouring here on the Central Coast/Tri-Counties...

Apparently there’s already been some flash floods. I’m glad there’s been pro-active evacuations here and there — anyone along a river, from a trailer park to a homeless encampment, really needs to have moved out yesterday.

Honestly not sure what this means for us in our little valley, as water drainage seems to be good here — as far as I know we’re more likely to be at risk for mudslides some day, but it’s hard to tell.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. You're welcome, my dear Hekate! And thank you for your kind remarks.

I hope you and your little valley avoid all the bad things that could possibly happen as a result of this storm.

I know you're staying as safe as you can!

17. The Pacific Northwest thanks you, dear Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Thank you for the good thoughts, my dear fierywoman!

They are greatly appreciated!

[LoisB]

20. Thank you for sharing.

We can use some radiance about now.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Thanks so much, my dear LoisB!

On a day as dark and wet as this one is, it's a very safe bet that we all will appreciate the radiance.
