We finally got some rain and I could almost hear the earth sigh with gratitude.  Sadly, the temperature dropped, a lot, and it's not so pleasant outside.

I bought some petunias, and other flowers to plant this weekend.  I'd never seen this kind of petunia before.  I can't remember the name of them, but they came about because of growers trying to develop a green petunia.  I quite like the green edges.

The oak trees are leafing out, they are always late to the party.  I'm not sure what kind of oak they are, but I bury their acorns in the fall, in the hopes that more will grow.  The spruce seedlings that I transplanted along the back pathway have all survived and hopefully, one day will be huge trees.  Not in my lifetime, but one day.

I walked the dogs yesterday and all of the mayday, crabapple, and chokecherry trees are blooming.  The scent was so strong that it eventually hurt my nose.  Ridiculous, I know.

Very little going on in my life.  Jack is doing relatively well, eating well, sleeping well, and generally easy to get along with.  I'm sure that will change, but we're enjoying it.  He's loving his swim lessons and he also loves singing (I am not a singer but his mama has a beautiful voice), so I'll look for singing lessons for him in the fall.  He still struggles with school, but we'll see if the biphentin helps.

We're taking Jack to Jasper next month for four nights which will be a nice break.  There is a pool at the hotel, which he'll love.  We'll spend lots of time outdoors which is good for all of us.  My pottery instructor ( a lovely young woman) is going to animal and house sit for us, so no dogs to worry about either.  

Katie is doing well on her new med.  Nothing bad happened this week, so far:)  Whose life is this?
