Finding Color in a Gray Colored Day

Another week has flown by. Another week of clouds and rain. Thankfully I got a 3 hour window to get the yard mowed up. Like everyone we're a little saturated and ready for some sun in our neck of the woods. We don't have it as bad as others, but come on enough is enough already. I'm still continue to pray for those in Texas and Oklahoma effected by all the flooding that has devastated their lives. 

My small "court yard"
outside the back door is always a calming spot for the pup and I. This morning even with mist in the air I could see beauty climbing up the arbor.  The Jackmanii Clematis was planted about 15 years or so ago. Both sides at the same time, and in all these years I've never, ever seen it grow up equally on each side and meet at the top. I'm not sure if I planted one deeper than the other, or if I just have a stubborn clematis on the right side of the arbor. lol  What do you all think?

 On the small table I try to put a brighter color plant to off set the dark area. This year I chose the red impatiens's and they are thriving - absolutely gorgeous. Miss Scooter and I set out here in the early evenings when the sun is still too hot on the front porch which is on the South side of the house.

It goes to show you even on a cloudy day you can find some brightness,  I hope you find something that makes you smile this weekend. Please join me on Sunday for the reveal of yet another change around my home. Any guesses?
