It's raining tonight. Tied heat record for this day in history today.
My Dogwoods are in bloom...how I love Dogwoods.
Sat in the shade this evening and read. The book I'm reading is called The Seven Sisters by Margaret Drabble.
The Joe Pye Weed is getting tall. Picked a large bowl of rhubarb for bars and pie. The grapes are beginning to twine already and the leaves are coming along nicely. The Autumn Clematis is half way up the chain link fence and the other Clematis has a lot of buds about to open. The Morning Glories have four sets of leaves on and are nice an green. The honey suckle is in bloom, as are the geraniums, the pansies, and Bridal Wreath. Lots of buds on the African Daisies and Oriental Poppys, it looks like it will be a good year so far. Two swings, a sandbox, a little pool, yard toys, umbrella table and chairs and a nice red reading chair all ready for summer enjoyment.
The Robin nest is in the pine tree, four eggs, now hatched and all are doing fine. Three days old today.

Ahhh, the miracle of life surrounding you. Those eggs and babies are beautiful. Send some rain our way, we need it badly. Helen
we have a robins nest and others in our pine trees too but I didn't get lucky like you and see them hatch etc... they have flown the coop and we only see the nest. the wind was pretty strong this afternoon while I was reading on the patio and all of the sudden there was a big noise so I came running in... the neighbors wooden fence broke some posts and is bent over... I will be more carefull when it gets so windy but it was so beautiful out there this afternoon.
