Mountain laurel is starting to bloom. I imagine a little plink sound as the tiny umbrellas open up, but then I've always been imaginative. *g*

It's been a quiet weekend, which is a good thing. We had quite enough excitement last week; enough to last for a long time. They said on the news that power has been restored to all areas, so tomorrow we will start getting back to normal. For a lot of folks, that will take quite a bit longer. I can't even imagine what folks in places like Joplin are still dealing with, after seeing what happened here.

Life goes on, with perhaps a little more respect for the power of Nature.

That's beautiful. I'm glad things are settling down around your area.

Thanks. So am I! I think that was the weirdest week ever.

Did you hear the NPR story talking about how ripening pistachios DO make a sound when hey are ripe?!

[lizziebelle.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't. Cool!

I love mountain laurel, with those pretty little cup flowers...

They remind me of little parasols. :)

I've never seen mountain laurel before, but they are so pretty! I also see exactly what you mean about how they ought to go "plink!" when they open. :)

It's one of my favorites, and there's lots of it around here. :)

Our mountain laurel's in flower just now, too. Whenever I see it, I think of you, because I never knew what it was until you told me!!
