Recently it has rained at least once a day. This can be a problem when scheduling times to meet friends at the park, or when to go weed the garden, but all in all it is very good for the ground. Today's rain was enough to cancel the park plans, but not quite enough to cancel weeding plans. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time to finish the whole garden before we had to head back to La Crete for laundry and library time. I guess that's what Friday is for, right? Or maybe it will be next Monday. The carrots really need finishing, though.

It is 9:47 p.m. and I’ve just taken a nice stroll down the drive with the camera, trying to capture the beauty of this place. And yet, it’s not possible. The eye can see far more in one glance than the camera lens can. Not to mention the skin enjoying the sun and breeze, the nose alive with the scent of wild roses and canola, freshly cut grass and the myriad other scents on the wind.

Zadu and Rigel went to their pen willingly enough, which was a great relief for me. Hopefully they continue to be easygoing about the whole “folks-aren’t-home-guess-you-have-to-substitute” thing. They are really nice dogs, and I guess that so long as we feed them at night their tummies will help them cooperate J.

The field next to us decided to bloom today. It is a beautiful shade of yellow. Too bright for a room, too dim for the sun, beautiful in its own way. If the sun is out tomorrow I’ll try to capture the beauty on “film”, but no promises!
