Our "April Showers" over the last 24 hours were more like April squalls. One storm cell after another lined up over the Pacific and lashed us with wind and rain, and some hail, interspersed with completely blue sky. And cold! 45 degrees in full sunshine. It's still chilly and breezy at noon here on Tuesday, but it's calmer, drier, and it has made it up to 50. That's typical crazy weather here for April. Our April showers bring April flowers, when the wind and rain don't tear them apart.
Since things had calmed down outside I went out to get a spring update.
Tom has been out doing storm clean up. We have a lot of branches down, but no real damage.
Tomorrow we are also going to a Sounders game at the stadium. I probably don't have any business being there, but with Tom's help, I'll manage. When we bought our season tickets last summer, I was still much more mobile. I hope to find out more about my condition when I finally see the neurologist on Friday.
Good luck with that Sounders game!
ReplyDeletewow green-ness. Our red bud tree is blooming-finally some color in our yard!
ReplyDeleteYou've has some high winds to take down branches of that size. I hope you get a good report on your health and that you're free to go.
ReplyDeleteCharlie is a really handsome kitty! Thanks for the after-storm tour. Those are pretty big branches that came down! I'd love to have a few of those plants in Kansas: the apple and little purple ground cover for sure. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize your April showers were so violent. We had a real boomer last night with hail and all. Had to Google your may apples and realize they are generally toxic but that deer will eat them during their brief nontoxic period. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to see Charlie is still a regular visitor.
The weather sounds nasty but at least it isn't snow. The spring flowers are just so lovely. And Charlie is a handsome cat.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gardens, as usual. I hope going to the game will be good for your spirits -- enough to quiet a cranky body.
ReplyDeleteGood to see your gardens and the Trillium, we still have at least six weeks before Trillium. Good to see Charlie too! Doctors always have to run lots of tests, but I do hope he has some answers for you! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful garden.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got to go to the Sounders game and you managed well.
ReplyDeleteYour garden doesn't seem to have suffered too much from winter kill. All looks great.
Some of those you have blooming are not even pushing their heads above the ground in my yard!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's a VERY nice piece of landscaping.
