Another on the way

Just as our one orchid loses its flowers, we have another one about to burst into bloom.  Spring is coming, it really is.  We have lots of bulbs up in the yard and some of our seedlings have sprouted (cantaloupe! basil! tomatoes!).  Rain is about to deluge us for the next 24-36 hours, and the temperature is supposed to be in the mid-40s. While we need the rain for all the new plants poking out of the ground, and our two rain barrels need to be filled, I am not sure I want to be under a flood watch.  I have my rain boots ready though.
