Spring Rains...38º

Rain off and on all day yesterday and into the night, sometimes pounding but mostly gentle...It is nice to wake up to a newly washed world...All the shades of green are brighter, fresher, more alive...Only the daffodils are a bit battered and waterlogged.

It looked cold and wet outside yesterday, but with encouragement from Herb, I joined him to throw/spread chips on flowerbeds across the road from our house...These flowerbeds are a catch-all for more invasive plants such as Dames Rocket, Globe Thistle, Centaurea and forget-me-nots...We carefully piled/spread chips in and around the emerging plants...The chips are a good way of cleaning up the beds and discouraging some of the nasty weeds...Quite often when this side of the road blooms, it is prettier than the well tended beds around our house.

Chip pile.

Weeds covered up.

Late last evening I took more daffodil photos because I thought they might be covered with snow this morning, but we lucked out and still have gentle rain falling...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
