After a week of gray, cold, rainy weather, there was a brief respite and the sun came out.  I spent all weekend outside digging plants to donate to my garden club plant sale and moving a few things around.

Last night when the rains ended there was a beautiful rainbow…

…and lovely evening glow

Esther enjoyed the cool green grass

Today was a gorgeous day to work outside..a nice breeze kept the black flies away.  The little chicken wire cages I made to protect the tulips from the rabbits are working
