Between the rains...




We'd thought we'd be posting pictures from yesterday's 1st birthday Celebration in the Park for granddaughter Ava. Sorry to say that the weather didn't cooperate and a later get-together is planned. A break in the rain yesterday did give Margaret a chance to peek around our patio garden; also sorry to report that there's lots of work to do there to get it back in shape! But, the first calla lily of the season is always a welcome sight, and an unknown succulent in a large pot that crowns a mini-rock garden is blooming for the first time. The last head of bib lettuce that we've been nibbling on for the past few weeks is about ready for complete harvest, offering much greater sun exposure to the strawberry plants we hope to be snacking from in the months ahead.
