Did I say showers? How about lightening, thunder, and deluge?
It is pouring buckets, and all the 'scaredy cats' are at my feet.
At least the Ark is ready!

I enjoyed stitching this. I think my favorite part is the 'rainbow hill' upon which the Ark rests. I had to chart the year 2012 as numbers were not included. I also added my initials 'E' and 'C'.
Sunday my Mom, my sister, and I went on a plant nursery tour with the Avid Gardeners group.
We went to Xera Plants
and Rare Plant Research
and Ferguson's Fragrant Flowers.
I will post more details on each nursery later in the week.
Good morning, Beth! Your Ark looks wonderful and sturdy! ;-) We are in for rain all week as well - blech!
