First Blooms

I planted a seed mix of wildflowers that are supposed to attract butterflies and hummingbirds... nothing had bloomed yet and I was starting to think I was just growing weeds or something, but when I got back from Colorado today there were 5 or 6 blooms out on the balcony! So pretty!!

Rainbow

I saw this huge, full arch rainbow the day I got back from the Kadner Institute. It was too big to get the whole thing with my camera-- so pretty!
