I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned the rain. Hope you guys got as much as we did, just under 4 inches. It was very wonderful. My little garden seedlings are just loving this.
This is better than a picture of food, this is my neighbors’ bougainvillea. It is one of the most fabulous plants I’ve seen. These are my neighbors that dog sit for me. That’s right, I can’t bear to leave my dog home alone!
