I guess it rained...

We were away in the Northwest for three weeks, and while it was a lovely time spent in a beautiful place, I was sad to think about the barren wasteland that was once a flower garden I would be returning home to.

Apparently I had nothing to worry about!

(These zinnias were only a foot tall when we left!)

My happy front porch flower pot!

While I'm a little offended that they managed to thrive without my tender loving hands working with them and watering them, they were a very cheerful greeting when we arrived home!

And I snapped these pictures after I harvested enough blooms to fill six vases inside! 

Ahhh, fresh blooms...

I guess it rained a lot!
