We are not in a direct line of her path but are still going to be affected by the outer bands of the storm by this time tomorrow. Wind and rain warnings have already been issued here. I have taken all the outside furniture inside and tied everything else down.
I noticed this late bloomer in the planter a few days ago and decided I better take a photo before it drowns or blows away. The 2nd sunflower has finally bloomed.
Just love sunflowers but have never tried to grow them. We are now started to get lots more rain and wind here in Baltimore county. Just heard the Chesapeake Bay Bridge has been closed due to the wind.
ReplyDeleteHope you don't get hurt. And sunflowers make you happy don't they?
ReplyDeletevery pretty. I am so glad you had a nice summer day today. I have been watching the news and radar today. It is amazing how big Irene is. I hope you just get rain and not to much wind tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Awww, "Second" is absolutely gorgeous....Hope she survives Irene....Take care and be safe my friend...It's so strange and surreal to be here with gorgeous weather watching the havoc being wreaked on other parts of the country. Hope you don't have any damage from the witch's wrath....Take good care....Hugs & Blessings ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers. I've only tried growing them once and was pleased with the results. Maybe next year I give it a go again since you've inspired me! Lovely pics!
ReplyDeleteIt's raining hard here at 7 am. In fact, it's coming down our chimney. Don't you love finding out about little house issues during major weather disasters? I hope it peters out by the time it get to you guys. We're expecting the worst starting at noon.
ReplyDeleteLove the sunflower!
The sunflower looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind late bloomers at all. This late one is very pretty. We are getting blown to pieces from Irene. There has been a couple of huge branches down from the pines trees on our back hill. Stay safe!!
ReplyDeleteKim, your sunflower babies are beautiful. I hope that you try again next year. They bring a smile when I look at them.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you don't get too much rain and wind or loose electricity. Stay safe and dry my friend. Hugs. JB
Your Sunflowers look great! I have been watching the east coast How scarey! Stay safe and dry.Cheri

Sun flowers just put a smile on your face, don't they? I find them to be such happy flowers. See, you do have a green thumb. Hope you are well, the wind is still howling here, but we have survived the srorm minus one tree and a few limbs. Hugs to Millie, Julie.
