late night rains made it greener...

early this morning, just after breakfast...

those are tiny little leaves!

the late thunderstorms that buzzed through left us with 3/10 of an inch of rain...

just enough to get things popping again...

high of 80 today...

our nights have been so warm!

everything was still damp this morning...

even the eggs...

I have never seen a spring like this one...

and I just love it!

then after lunch, we went out and started working...

more leaf removal...
look at the iris!

Boofy helping a little...

tulip...

white crocus...

the rain beat the other ones down pretty good, but we had new ones open up today...

most of them have been this color...

then we went for a walk and the magnolia tree is in full bloom...

it smells so good!

and another neighbor has a pear tree...

and boy, does it smell so sweet...

ok- this is a bird bath that I got over a month ago...
13 . 88...
its resin...
but it has a lot of gold on it...

so a can of fusion for plastic krylon paint...
and the gold is gone...
white this time...
later, I will paint it black...

and the fence sections went  up today...

we have 3 more we need to put together to finish the job...
that's a summer project for this year...

still waiting on the deck...
I want it done...
so I can play there...

I would love to sit outside more...
but there isn't any shade yet!
and it can get a little warm in the sun...
not that I am complaining...
tank tops, shorts and flip flops here!

we could have a week of rain coming this way...
I don't mind at all...
it makes things grow!
still need to call the mower guy!
