The day started cold but eventually warmed up to a hot afternoon. At school we painted plates, more plates and then more plates and I think we did some other stuff as well. I returned home to a pleasant evening and lots of flowers out in the garden.
The
aquillegias seed themselves all over the place but even though I buy one or two of the more striking colour combinations they all seem to revert back to shades of smokey pink. This evening the air was filled with the drifting fluffy white seeds from the willow tree by the chickens' run.
The yellow scented azaleas have started to bloom and give off their wonderful scent.
The dry weather has kept the slugs at bay and given the wisteria flowers a chance to open before being munched by hungry gastropods.
And today I spotted the first climbing roses high up on the wall. (Mme Alfred Carrier).

How lovely, you are ahead of us out here in Western Oregon, we have record amounts of rain & cold! We have some careless dogs here too: From The Oregonian (Oregonlive.com)
EAGLE CREEK -- John Grady was fixing a hole today in his storm-damaged fence, which traces the edge of a bluff high above the Clackamas River, northwest of Estacada. He was shocked to see his two golden retrievers tumbling down the steep 175-foot slope toward the rushing water below.
It took two hours and a good deal of effort for them to be reunited. The dogs, surprisingly, were little the worse for wear.
"Oh, they're fine now," said Grady, 51.
"One's limping a little bit, but he'll be fine. They're still stupid, though."
