Everyone on the east coast got rained on by hurricane Irene. It was a big deal. Rain was a big deal for me this summer too. At the end of July we had a rain storm. It hardly rains here. I love the sound rain makes when it falls. This storm had lots of thunder too. It set off the car alarms. It woke me up really early. It was one of my favorite days.

Water Wise!
Today we visited a water wise garden. This is a garden where the plants need little or no watering to survive. They get most of what they need from the rainfall. That is so cool because it doesn't rain very often. I thought it would be like a rock garden but it was green and pretty and even had a fountain. My favorite plants were the Blanket Flowers. They look a field of pinkish butterflies. Some other kinds of plants are Kangaroo Paw, English Lavender, Rosemary and Giant Feather Grass. I thought that would look like giant feathers It just looks like tall fluffy grass.
