Lots of rain lately. The columbines are blooming.
It's fun to plant a packet of mived color columbine seeds. These were planted last year and the blooms are a lovely suprise.I love their color and shape.
Sunlight between storms. (Yes, the garage has seen better days.)
Muddy path
Dry land!
Rain
Lately, the rain has been steady.. Explosive thunder, gushing downpours, then soft dripping from the branches.

This weather isn't so good for taking pictures of textiles outdoors, but it's perfect for working in the garden if you don't mind being soaked.
The water does wonders for the garden
The alley is a lot better after a good wash.
The houseplants are rejoicing in the rain after the long, dry winter indoors
The water encourages the seedlings.
