Raining

It was raining really hard today.  Raining from the roof turned my yard into a puddle.


The street was starting to look like a  river.


Inside, I have my reminder of Easter.


April already!!!!

  1. We had quite the storm a couple of days ago- I was so glad to see bright blue skies and no clouds today.

  2. Well get your lawn mower ready, you should have lots of green grass to take care of.

  3. Wow! No wonder that grass is so green. Don't eat all that candy at once, Olga - pace yourself. I've finally found spring at a lower altitude.

  4. Wow, it was definitely coming down. I hope the sun comes out soon.

    Have a great weekend!

  5. Yup, it's almost the third of April, and time to put away the Easter decorations. The candy is almost gone too. I've been working hard to make it disappear, then I will have to work hard to make it disappear from me!

  7. We haven't had a good rain for a long time, which means I have to run my lawn sprinkler every night now.

  8. Hi Olga- I am new to your blog and look forward to following it (I am also a retired Special Educator/School Administrator).
    We have just ended our 6 months of rain (Parksville, BC) and now are entering our 6 months of drought (literally).

  13. All that wonderful rain. No wonder your yard is so green and vibrant -- unlike mine! I hate this drought.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!
