on a happier note

on a happier note - one of the mystery plants has been identified. i have lovely aliums in 2 places.
the snowball bushes have never looked healthier.tim and i both took it easy this weekend. the wind had stopped blowing, the sun was shining but not hot. i sat outside and did some reading. he watched golf. we walked charlie, went for a bike ride. loafed, napped, enjoyed.

the alium are lovely. i have iris blooming and the anemone are about to open with columbine not far behind them.

first ride

we hit the mid 70s yesterday so it was my first ride to work for the season.i always look forward to the time when i can start riding my bike for errands and work. the switch to daylight savings time earlier than normal means that it is still light even now when i get off work (in years past a deterent to riding)so i can get home safely. yippee!!
and while i hate to waste a second first in the same post i will mention that it was also the first time i've locked my bike in the 5 years we've been here.
