We're home, at the country house with all four grandkids. More time digging in the garden getting it ready to plant this week.
Busy busy as only I am when they are here. Lots of cooking (they eat ALL the time) and the subsequent cleaning with bouts of other activity in between.
Here's a few pictures of some things that greeted me when we got home (click to enlarge).
The red bud tree.
The iris that appeared during the week we were in the city.
A huge flock of cedar waxwings perched in two trees eating the red berries on another in between.
