After Four Days

Yet again the same old story, after four days of rain and dreariness, the sun came out this afternoon.  One of these days I need to pack up and move to an area where the sun shines more than every fourth day.  LOL!  Anyway, it was so nice to see the sun, so I grabbed my camera.  I have more outdoor photos to show you.

First, I have some indoor progress to show you.  Gracie’s sweater is coming along nicely.  I will probably add one or two more motifs–smaller though. I feel that these two motifs are off balance right now.  I will sleep on it, and in the morning be able to figure out what it needs, I hope.  That’s usually the way it works when I am stuck.

I found this robin’s egg under some bushes.  I looked and looked for a nest, but couldn’t find one.  😦

The pink crabapple trees already have the majority of their petals on the ground.

Our lilacs with the teeny tiny blossoms still have a ways to go before they bloom.

I believe this is a spring blooming variety of hydrangea with small, flat, flowerheads.

These prickly barberry bushes have blossoms–who knew!  I’m not a fan of barberry, but they are kind of pretty right now.

I hope you all have a lovely spring weekend!  Bye for now!
