Still Raining (damn it)

Yup, it’s still rain­ing. Three bloody weeks of the driz­zle falling down my neck.

I took advan­tage of a half hour break last week­end and went for a lit­tle ram­ble about the place. Here are some pics.

The red­bud is finally bloom­ing and has a few ten­der look­ing leaves. (And some of these shots are silly and arty.)

There are a cou­ple of new things in the gar­den beds but this rainy cool weather isn’t doing most of the plants any favors.

The lit­tle lilac has bloomed. I’m not sure if the mot­tling on the leaves is sup­posed to be there. Hmm.

And a bonus in the herb gar­den, or rather mixed in with the lilies next to the herb gar­den. Self-seeded cilantro.

I’ve spent some time in the woods recently check­ing on coy­ote activ­ity. Last week­end I took my cam­era with me and got these four shots of spring.

Our next project is to fin­ish installing our new hot tub. Right now it’s just sit­ting on the con­crete pad in the mid­dle of the dirt and gravel.  It’ll be nicer when there’s a door where the win­dows are now and there’s a nice deck sur­round­ing it. Doesn’t mat­ter really we use it a lot already.

Pray for sun, we’re los­ing our minds out here.
