So far here today--it has been a very warm, sunny day. NO rain--but we had the "deluge" yesterday.
Did this storm come from the South and move North? Or--is your rain today coming our way later???
It IS supposed to rain here later...

The called me from work this Am and said not to come in. Cutting hours...again.....
For once--I REALLY appreciated the day off--as i could get my patio ready for my daughter and her BF
visit starting tomorrow. Lots of re-organizing and hosing off....

Put all the trays of seedlings and cuttings here and there--but OFF the patio tables. I have two...
Rolled out my heavy, round patio table, washed it down and set it up with the umbrella on the lawn.
Perfect for sitting a bit outside to have a snack.
Then--maybe they will crash for a couple of hours--and then i will make them Crab Cakes
and Beer Batter Onion rings for dinner...Let the 'spoiling" begin.....
Have beer---Have Wine---have food--have hugs----what else can anyone want.....

OK! here are some pictures of flowers from my garden. Just to stay ON topic.....
Things are really starting to "pop".....

--F.G.me N.'s all over the place now--in full bloom
--My dwarf, purple iris--JB, these look just like yours above...
--My "Koromo Shukibu" Azalea in bloom ---VERY different.....
--Another shot of my Camellia--getting fuller in bloom...such a fleeting pleasure!
--Funny how when thew blooms are done--they just drop off as beautiful as they ever were....
Makes me want to float them in a crystal bowl-----:o)
