Garden update in photos: May 5

My fiddling in the flower beds is never done. These past two days, though, rain has forced me indoors to watch the garden instead of work in it. I went out today between showers to get some photos.

  1. Beautiful photographs. We are getting that rain today. Hopefully all the plants I’ve put in, and the seeds, will soak it up and burst into beautiful bloom soon.
