Ok, I take it back...

This morning's whining, I mean.  What a glorious day!  65° and sunshine, clean and bright and perfect.  So I celebrated by going to three different plant stores and buying lots of pretty flowers to go in my new little garden.  (Don't even ask how much I spent...)  I just had a walkway poured down the east side of the house which pretty much ruined what passed for a "garden" along the east side of the driveway, so I ripped everything out last week, put in some arborvitae as a screen, and have been little by little breaking up the clay, removing rocks, and mixing in compost.  Should be a beautiful space when I'm done!  Here are a few of the new comers:

Rhododendron "Unique"

After all our bizarre weather of the last few days, it broke out in sunshine for much of the day today. Gorgeous as only the Pacific northwest can be! These are the rhododendron bushes along my front porch. The snow and hail didn't seem to bother them a bit!
