Back yard interlude

There were a few breaks in the clouds on Sunday afternoon and I took advantage to sit outside and admire the green. A glass of wine made it even nicer. The air was warm and felt warmer due to light humidity. I enjoyed being outdoors in a tee-shirt.

Sitting under the linden tree, looking westward.

The rain started in the evening and has been falling pretty steadily since. I heard some heavy showers on the roof during the night. Now the wind is shifting to the north and we're expecting a dramatic drop in temperature as the day goes on. I won't be sitting outside much over the next few days.

A little glass of red.

Tasha's grooming appointment was rescheduled to tomorrow. I'll find out today if it's still on. Our déconfinement begins today and certain businesses will be allowed to open, as will most parks. We will no longer need to fill out an attestation form when we leave the house, but we're required to wear masks most places. The zoo will remain closed until at least June 1, and our town has decided to keep the schools closed for the rest of the school year.

  1. So glad you had the chance to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and that we get to enjoy the photos. The linden tree has so much character.

  4. Looks like a nice spot to relax in, review all that you, two, have accomplished already this year and above all, enjoy that "little glass of red" before the rains come. That is our forecast as well, after enjoying a sunny, warm though humid weekend we now are expecting rain as well.

  5. mitch, now that the tree next to it is gone, it's much more attractive.

    jean, I'll second that!

    judy, blue sky is always welcome. :)

    mary, we're now past the point where we feel we have "reclaimed" the back yard from winter's neglect. It's a good feeling.
