Make the Most of a Dreary Day

Jan Eaton, who lives on Lake Smith, made the most of a  dreary rainy Sunday.

“I took a walk about this morning during that nice light rain we were having and all of the water droplets on the naked branches caught my eye!” Eaton wrote.

She said the raindrops on the bare branches reminded her of the rice lights sold at Christmas,

Then as she walked round her yard, she also photographed camellias in bloom.

“Had to share these beauties with you, too” she said. These are thanks to Zelma Crockett.”

Eaton and her husband now own the property where well- known Hampton Roads gardener Zelma Crockett once lived and ran a plant nursery before her death.

A wealth of camellias and azaleas as well as rarer shrubs and plants abound and Eaton doesn’t miss much of their show, rain or shine.

Just goes to prove that one man’s rainy morning is  another man’s pleasure.
