rain is a good thing.

so, if we're on track, we should expect next summer to be the pits.  but.  let's just not go there quite yet.  this springtime, we enjoyed frolicking barefoot in the sunshine and heat, and our evenings we were lulled to sleep by the sound of rain.  now that summer is officially here, i'm hoping we continue to be blessed with rays of sun to freckle my face and tan-line jb's skinny arms and neck.  dil, well, she's been slathered in 60 spf since may 1st, and i don't see her getting out of our slippery sessions anytime soon.  protests or not!  

this is what all the rain and sunshine has done for the other kids around the house... 

flower box has filled in nicely!

 mountain bluet
 columbine
 hansa rose bush with 27 blooms/buds
 you would not believe the fragrance from these;
i can smell them as soon as i open my front door.
 from this...
to this...
to THIS!
