as I was sitting on the deck this afternoon, the leaves were budding…
I thought it had been happening last week, but then it stopped…
today the temperature rose so high it must have caused them to burst open and it felt like it was raining…
took this photo of the chair cushion before it got really covered… I had to put my drink into a thermos bottle because my glass kept getting bits dropped into it, lol…

had a lovely time in the garden this morning…
instead of walking on the treadmill I watered all the pots and planters one by one with a bucket… I find this very helpful because it ensures that each one gets the correct amount of water…
the daturas are looking stunning… seems like I couldn’t get enough pictures of them this morning… lots of buds and opening flowers…
the mandevilla continues to tease me by slowly getting closer to opening every day…
and the big excitement was the hibiscus beginning to open… took the open shot when I arrived home after work… it is so much happier in this space, just about four feet from where it was… amazing what finding just the right spot can do for the plant’s happiness;-)…

started off with an early morning hot tub…
took my phone out with me to get a picture of the view from there…
received phone calls and messages throughout the day…
went for a walk and noticed how many trees were budding… it was a bit cool and overcast so had a nap when I got home… later in the day the sun broke through the clouds and we were able to sit out and enjoy the spring day…
kids came over and the boys did some yard work and then produced dinner… well, mostly Jeff… a lovely treat…
they also brought me an adorable small phaleanopsis orchid…
beautiful Mother’s day…
