Soak Up the Sun

The weather was so nice today that Gretel, Ayla, and I spent the afternoon on the patio.

I think Gretel must have a solar panel on her belly.

We listened to the birds and squirrels.

And we soaked up the sun.

We were content.

Ahhh...

I also snapped some photos of the plants growing on our patio. My grapevine is starting to take off; the petunias are as hardy as ever; the Princess lilies are budding; the avocado tree is sprouting all over; the various marigolds we just planted as doing well; there are flowers on the tomato; and I think our Mr. Lincoln rose might bloom sometime soon; even the shamrocks are flowering. Its very pretty... too bad its supposed to rain again. I hope everything makes it through just fine!
