Out of Hibernation
Michael came out from his sewing room hibernation today! It was a beautiful day - a bit chilly with temperatures in the 50s, partly cloudy with a few sun breaks and just a few very minor sprinkles. The garden is waking up fast. I love this time of year. The trees are just leafing out, so when the sun does appear, there is a dappled scattering of sunrays dancing throughout the garden.

Ruptured a tire on Patton Island bridge Wed afternoon late and they put a used tire on Thurs until they can get 2 new ones in. I had a tornado that went overhead last night and hope that the blooms survived.
