It's raining cats and dogs this afternoon

Plum 's two male Betta fish are in the small mouthed pitchers. She pats the glass and loves to watch the fish swim around.

It's raining, so they can't go outside on the second-floor cat decks.

This is a photo of part of my backyard taken from the second floor. The perennials are really growing very quickly in the unusually warm spring. The picket fence at the back is almost completely covered with  virginia creeper - this usually happens in August! The cats sit in the window and watch the pond fish.

It's started to pour! I hope the rain doesn't take off the blossoms of the hibiscus and the geraniums.
