The computer is another story, but it can be fixed. I've just read a couple posts from bloggers in Houston. Whatever problems I thought I had pale in comparison to what they are going through.<BR/><BR/>Suburbia, I'm feeling better today, and the storm wasn't that bad, especially compared to other parts of the country. Mr. Procrastinator is procrastinating about discussing the holiday:)<BR/><BR/>Lisa, Thanks. I know you understand how frustrating it is to be without a computer! I was able to hook up the internet cable to my daughter's computer, but my photos are all stored on my computer. Of course, I haven't backed them up--you'd think I would have learned that lesson by now:)<BR/><BR/>Sarah, There is something about raindrops on flowers that make them more photogenic. Do visit Carol's and the other Bloom Day posts--it's always interesting to see what is blooming in different parts of the country and the world, too!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-83732706927013839492008-09-15T20:10:00.000-05:002008-09-15T20:10:00.000-05:00I love that your clematis blooms twice a year!

The bees enjoy the sedum, too, but I've noticed more butterflies than bees here lately.<BR/><BR/>Beckie, You can't believe how thankful I was that our basement didn't flood yesterday. With the power off--and no sump pump running--for 4 hours, that's all I could think about.<BR/><BR/>Frances, You make me sound like Superwoman:) I wouldn't miss a bloom day post! Of course, I was lucky I hadn't deleted all the pictures from my camera yet.

The asters have been a recent addition to the main flowerbed, and I'm so glad I planted them. They really add some colorful blooms when everything else seems to be fading.<BR/><BR/>Linda, Things are getting back to normal, except for the computer. I spent an hour online with computer tech support, with the final comment being something about the "motherboard." That doesn't sound good, does it? And of course, the warranty has expired...<BR/><BR/>Cosmo, I think we're fortunate here in the Midwest that we just get the benefits, for the most part, from the hurricanes. How has the weather been in your neighborhood? Are you getting caught up after your trip?<BR/><BR/>Joey, I didn't show you the Russian sage or the coneflowers that have drooped over parts of the garden:) "Stellas are like Clydesdales"--I like that analogy!

You know I enjoy this monthly look at everyone's blooms--I wouldn't miss it! Thanks for sponsoring it.<BR/><BR/>Joy, I know you love sedums, too:) The butterflies were an added bonus when I went out to photograph them. I've been thinking of the Red Cross volunteers and all the first responders who have had to work so hard during this hurricane, too.<BR/><BR/>Tina, Thanks! The sedum really is looking good this year.<BR/><BR/>Marnie, Glad you like the Stellas. I know they're overused in commercial plantings, but they really are great performers. The clematis has been another one of those "surprises in the garden" for me this year.<BR/><BR/>Gail, Thanks for diagnosing my "ick":) I'm doing much better today; at least being sick is a good excuse for spending more time sitting down at the computer and reading everyone's posts.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-85200867137362899642008-09-15T17:14:00.000-05:002008-09-15T17:14:00.000-05:00Rose, the colors appear all the more vibrant in th...Rose, the colors appear all the more vibrant in the rain.

Your Asters are so pretty, especially with the butterfly accessories. I tend to get bees on my Sedums more than butterflies. Last week I had 4 different kinds of bees on one plant at the same time.

He said the local news said something about ragweed blooming there right now. My mom in Missouri has been suffering from sinusitis lately too. My allergies in the Midwest always seemed worse in the spring. Guess it's something else I'm sensitive to. I love all of your pics but especially the asters. I miss seeing them here in Florida. Too hot for them, I guess.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.com
