From our back yard

This is looking east from our place. Sorry about the power lines but there's not much I can do about them. Our neighbors need power!
Today is turning out better than expected. I need to empty the rain gauge. There is a little over an inch of water in it. Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be the wettest days.
We have been following the UK elections and I don't really know what to say. The demise of Labour north of the border is telling us something! Over here we have already started for November 2016! This is going to be an interesting campaign.
Thank you for all the nice comments on the iris. Today a pink one has opened. You will see more later!!!
