I SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS....

DH is on his way home from the coast. I need, want, to have as much of the rental cleaned up as I can before he gets here, including getting most of the assorted furniture, kitchen wares, junk, and garbage cleared out.

But in between working on that house, and various other chores yesterday, I took sixty, count 'em, sixty photos of flowers around the yard, and I can't resist posting a few of them here. Now. It won't take but a minute, right?

Does This Mean It's Spring?

This has been the coldest, wettest, spring I can remember. I've been on the verge of despair, although there've been a few days that let me dig weeds and put plants into the ground lightened the gray.

Then, day before yesterday, Lo! and Behold! it was warm enough to sit on the swing in the yard with Bob, swinging our feet and talking. He mowed the lawn. I had seen the clematis from the kitchen window, and grabbed the camera before I came out.

It's Spring, isn't it? Really, really Spring!

The sun is shining. I have tables full of things to make, and a shop to (re)organize, and a little SUV full of fabric to sort. Life is good.
