Long days
Spring is my favourite season and soon we approach the longest day where it is still even light at 10:30 pm. in northern Alberta.
Since returning home from BC, my schedule has been full. In the time off from work spent much of it in the yard, nurturing the tomato and marigold seedlings, most of which survived surprisingly. Lots of time in my own and other's gardens, from planting our urban fruit orchard to bedding plant sales.
This gent put his tomato plants on his bike.
Pansies are some of my favorites.It has been an exceedingly dry spring, apparently the driest in About 50 years so coming rains would be welcome!
We did have snow though at the beginning of May!
The left wrist is healing well with physio and a wrist guard..thankful was not my writing hand!
Surgery was n April 27 and returned to work on May 19th.
My pets much missed are easing into summer with new hair cuts and trying a leash on the kitten Shiloh!
Just a quick up date as much of my daily posts are on Facebook.

Glad the wrist is healing -- and the spring is springing! The flowers and veggies look wonderful. It's the 4th driest year ever in Southern California this year, and several towns are about to run out of water -- good thing we live near the ocean! Interesting that the aquarium responded so well to the oil spill in Vancouver -- the Pipeline company has hired people to do much of the work in Santa Barbara, and they are opening one of the 2 State Parks next week. There will be negative effects for a long time to come, but the beaches themselves are looking good. The wildlife people from Sea World and other marine mammal rescue groups did a lot of work with pelicans and dolphins.
