Rain delay

I worked early today, got home, and layed on the bed.I heard the rain falling on the window panes of the bedroom.It rained for a few hours so i waited and fell asleep.
I have just looked outside.The french marigolds are getting bigger with fattening buds, the rose bushes have got more buds, and short lived roses.The hostas have purple flower buds swelling.
The wild petunia has got another bud about to flower.The last outside purple cone flower has fallen to slugs.The lettuces have been attacked so gaps have appeared in the three green lines.
Inside the house my most impressive thing is a cactus which has grown flower buds with red bumps all over the tops and sides.My torch cactus had a short lived flower but the cat ate it!!
Will try to get photo of the cactus....hope for sunshine tomorrow.I have study days for next two days.
