Storm!

Oh my, it's been so windy that the largest Japanese maple fell over... 3 times.  That's it, the pot cannot sit on the gravel in the center of the stone path circle, it is doomed to the pebbled concrete of the porch.  Poor thing.

This tiny branch was the only maple casualty.

The fall of the tree also crushed a bunch of onion tops, but they're pretty hardy and they'll definitely be back.

The earthworms were out during the rain, searching for mates.  This one was stretched to 9 inches long!

I had released a bunch of giant earthworms in the backyard that I had received from a friend (long story), and it was fun to see them again.
