Soaking up the Sun

This Spring has been unusually cool, even for Michigan! So when the temps finally peaked into the 80s, I took advantage of a slow Wednesday at work and spent the rest of my day yesterday out in the sun.

It was the next best thing to winning a million dollars. I just wanted to skip around the yard and take in all the sights and smells. I let Spud out and he chased the birds off and we said hello to his little buddy Patrick, a cairn terrier next door with more energy than him, if you can believe it. 

He even helped me weed the front flower beds, which really meant me saying "drop that!" a lot. 

And even though I have the world's worst dirt over on the side of the garage, it was nice to see my irises really coming out. And to the left is some lavender that has really spread since I thought I accidentely killed it off last year. 

The time outside was really just what I needed.
