It's that time of year when Kris and I spend much of our time outside, working on the yard. We've tried to train the cats to prune and plant for us, but mostly they just lay around glowering at birds.
Kris is (jusifiably) proud of her flower beds, and lately she's been grabbing my camera to take photos. "Post these," she says when she's done. Here are some shots from her most recent batch.

Kris loves bees. I was impressed that she was able to make some nice hand-held captures of honeybees at work. For example:

It's raining today (Sunday), but yesterday we were able to do a lot of yardwork, pruning limbs, mowing lawns, and otherwise fussing over our plants. Very fun.

Wow. How is it Sunday when we're only a few towns apart?
