We’ve had an unusual stretch of rain and clouds.
such abundance!
the creek is now a river
tumbling to the lake
city pond
willow tresses
fill the mirror
∼
After days of rain
gardener returns
to sprinkle seeds

It’s hard to call the water by the mill a ‘creek’ when it looks like that, but in the old days they used it to run a mill…glad you enjoyed

I think the second one is my favorite, but I love them all. You put such a positive, cheerful face on what could be impatience with rain, rain, rain.

Thank you Jennifer. It’s sort of strange but the rain simplified things for me…shrunk the options and at this time I needed that.

I never fully felt like a northerner until I started blogging. Of course some tulips have opened elsewhere but mine just started showing their red lips over the last two days.

I preferred the long slow springs of further north. It goes too quickly here. The winters don’t get cold enough to stop all the growth, so the minute the sun gets a little bit warm, everything is all ready to burst into bloom. It finishes much too soon.

Yes much water and now green again. I had almost forgotten what green grass looks like since the drought last summer.
