Summer time!!

I'm beginning to think Spring was totally skipped and summer is here to stay! I'm really hoping I'm wrong though! As I've said last month was way warm, and so was March (maybe March was our Spring!). It was in the 80's yesterday and today; tomorrow cooler and cloudy but no rain :(  and then back to the 80's Tuesday through possibly Friday at this point. My dad will have a lovely visit up here!! The plus side is beautiful flowers because they're blooming so early and yummy strawberries. I was wondering the other day about them.... first ones were already at the farmers market today!! WOW!!  My honeyberries are turning purple. It's just crazy!!! Maybe I'll actually get those tomatoes and peppers in this next week!

I finally gave in and turned on the fan upstairs today. I had to water my raised bed area yesterday and the first rose blooms are fading away already and we're only into the first week of May. On the other hand other areas of the US can't seem to get out of winter so it all depends where you live!! I guess I'll enjoy it while I can. Next year it could very well stay Spring until July 1st! :)

This next week is going to be cramming as much work as I can in since I'll be home practically all week. My reward will not only be sleep but also a coast visit!! Can't wait!!

Well, it won't let me do anything with the last picture but the sun shining off the clouds made for a really cool picture!

No Hood's yet but still yummy!!

The flower bouquet that Christina got me at the farmers market this morning. So pretty!! 

My camera wouldn't focus but you get the idea! Honeyberries.

A Bellflower

I thought it was cool how you can 'see' through the flower.

I just love these roses!

Peoni bloom

It has been a good 10 years since these Iris's have bloomed like this!! I was seriously contemplating taking them out. They must have got the message! :)

Even more blooms then the last posting! This is the year six for this rose bush. It's blooming it's heart out!

I woke up early the other day and noticed a pink in the living room... gorgeous sky! Took the picture and then went back to bed! :)
