So since May 21, we have been blessed with almost 9 inches of wonderful glorious rain. The weather has been cool - I think it got to 55 or so yesterday. The weather is supposed to continue like this at least till the weekend.
The things I planted aren't growing very much if at all, but they are healthy and I haven't had to water a single bit. And when that sun comes out, the grass is goiing to really take off in the pasture (unfortunately so will the weeds).
One major benefit of this nice cool wet weather is that the lilac bushes are blooming like crazy - wish I could overnight a bunch of cut fresh blossoms to g'ma to enjoy.
And my bleeding heart is thriving on the cool weather too, just wish I had a place to plant it where I could see it more often. It's on the back of the house and if I forget to walk out there to look at it, I could totally miss these cute little flowers.

I love bleeding hearts. Mine is doing better this rainy year than ever before... so pretty!
My lilacs looked like that about 3 weeks ago. NOw they're just brown and I once again swear I'm gonna rip them out.. Gotta love that rain. It makes the flowers grow..
I thought you were a master weed killer now and could get rid of that problem in the pasture??
So pretty and green. Wish we could get some of that rain.
