I took today off from work and just puttered around the yard....mowing, picking up debris, etc.  It was truly nice to stay home!

I wandered around in the yard a bit admiring the flowers and periodic sunshine today...

Bleeding hearts

Azalea

Forget-me-nots

Not really sure what these are

Trillium

Emily

 

And since it's "Cinco De Mayo"...

Judy made chicken enchiladas for dinner

Rod and Melody made it back from their months long adventure through the southwest.  Poor Melody has a cold, but here's the "Ripster".

After work Judy puts a flower basket or two together

A cloudy day...

Late afternoon...the only break in the clouds so far today.  Looking east...

...and looking west...

Some minor crepuscular rays highlight the evening

Another highlight tonight:  shrimp stuffed sole, garlic & herb rice pilaf, and the first of the home grown asparagus!  YUM!

...and after dinner...a nice sunset

Yesterday was beautiful!  Of course now that the weekend is here it's dark, dreary, and showery

Mom came up for Mother's Day weekend...

No sun, but at least it's a mostly dry (and damn chilly) evening, so we have a fire

Mom and her little dog Fashion

Emily having a ball!  LOL!

I bought this little light show called Laser Stars.  Here it is being displayed on the ceiling this evening.  It's rather cool to see in person!

A longer exposure shows how the "stars" move
