There's A Storm Brewing

 The Emergency Alert System just issued a warning there is a severe storm brewing just south of us.  An angry sky overhead.
 Summer has finally arrived in Portland and I took a picture of these cactus flowers this morning.  Yes, we can grow cactus in rainy Portland, at least The Husband can.  He puts them in the garage over the winter, not because of the cold but because of the rain.  He completely ignores them, no water, no nothing.  Come Spring, he pulls them out and WaLa - cactus flowers!
We started watering today, for the first time this year.  This is about a month later than normal.  Nice for our water bill but odd, indeed.
A busy weekend 'round here.  I hope yours was good!
