Spring

Spring has finally come! Spring is one of those touch and go seasons for any of you who are not familiar with Washington. There can be days where the weather is brilliant and then it will rain for the next two weeks. But when the weather is good, there's nothing like it.
Spring also means that we spend a lot of time in the yard. On this particular day I had just finished mowing the lawn and I looked up and saw a rainbow in the sky. I'm not really sure how this came to be as it had not been raining, but whatever the reason I thought it would be fun to get a picture of it.








Speaking of yard work Jeff and I have been working on taming the trees in our yard. This is a Laurel, yes for any of you who are familiar with this species it is generally a bush. As you can see our bush turned into a massive tree, which looked nice but was creating a bit of a moss problem on the roof. I haven't lived in Washington long enough to know the details but with all the rain and moisture here, there's a lot of moss which grows on the roof and the problem is made worse by trees hanging over, maybe it has to do with the shade. Anyways as you can see we gave the tree a massive haircut and literally had branches piled up to the roof. We did eventually get them cleared away.

As most of you have kids and post pictures of them all of the time I had to throw one in of my dog. Remmy was soaking up the sun and enjoying laying and rolling in the freshly mowed lawn. He loves hanging out in the yard while we work. Occasionally he comes over and starts digging in my garden while I weed. I think he's just trying to figure out what I'm doing but sometimes he digs up my bulbs so I don't encourage his helping. Hope you are all enjoying spring as much as we are and we'll keep you posted on our trips this summer.
