morning sun, afternoon clouds, sun spots and Ethel...

momma's ferns are doing great this year...
so far, until the Japanese beetles arrive...

it was a nice morning with a gentle breeze...

a little hazy, but it will get worse as the summer goes along...

in the afternoon, I weeded the veggie garden...

I probably should open the box of fertilizer...
haven't put anything on this except a handful of epsom salts...

we have a few blooms on the tomatoes...

and we need to buy a clothes line this week and get these racks ready for the growth that's going to happen...

have been wanting to do this for some time...
the scarecrows have been resting under the deck since last fall...

the heads were awful and needed replaced...
and I have a whole folder of images to share later...

and there she is...
Ethel...
I need to hit the resale shop for some decent duds for her...
so she will be redressed soon...

and some thunder boomers came through to the south and missed us...

and on the way back inside to do supper, the sun popped back out...
we got a walk in after supper and just sat down out front...
when the rain began...
we got just under a half an inch last evening...
the slow, steady kind of rain that just falls straight down...
we sat on the deck and then I laid down out there for about an hour...
just listening to the rain hit the tin roof...
I am so glad our builder understood the importance of the tin roof...
and just smiled when I told him what we wanted...
we are going to be digging peonies today and moving them here...
got several ideas, but not sure which will come to pass just yet...
not sure what we will do after that, or how long that is going to take...
so will take the camera and show you the progress later on...
have a blessed day and enjoy this transitional time between spring and summer...
for the heat will be coming before we know it...
