Some Color on a Gray Day

This flamboyant columbine is the only one that came back from last year, but what a sight! The blue irises always remind us of our former neighbor Edna, who planted them many years ago.

Sunshine is promised for the Memorial Day weekend, but after a week of rain, gardeners will have to split their time between holiday activities and backed-up yard chores. Don't forget, school's out Tuesday due to a leftover snow day. Go get a snow cone if the Italian ice places are open!
