rain, flowers, libraries, life!

We had a warm summery rain here last night, moistening everything and popping out a few flowers in the yard.

Baby maple leaves:


NOT a flower.




Also, have I mentioned how much I love my local library systems? Sewing and pattern drafting books galore! Online requesting! A library branch just steps away from my house, no gas needed! Tax dollars at work, making people happy!

More things making me happy:
-compressed air=dave's computer, fixed!
-listening to Nina Nastasia, right now
-seeing thee silver mount zion tra-la-la band, TONIGHT!!!


oh!!! I forgot to mention, it looks like there will be pears in the fall. Lots and lots of pears.
