After the rain

After taking pictures of the rainbow for Heather, I continued to snap away as the sun came out from behind the clouds. All the flowers looked so refreshed as they clung to left over raindrops.










We had a pruning misstep last fall. Glen asked the Spanish speaking helpers to trim the Italian cypress trees up two feet. When he went to check on them, they had trimmed up two meters! What to do, what to do? He decided that we would fill in the planter with colorful annuals to draw attention away from the bare trunks. I think that it is working!
