April Showers and May Flowers

In April we had a new tub, shower and tile installed in the bathroom. And in honor of the start of May, I took lots of photos of flowers inside and out. But I can't say that April showers brought the May flowers since we had all of one rainy day this April. And none in March, seriously, check the links and scroll down to the precipitation chart.

Anyway, I'm making up for a lack of photos in the last few weeks and playing around with the settings on the new camera. So here's the new shower and bath. The walls still need to be repainted to hide the re-plastering.


I love how flowers brighten up the house! These indoor flowers were given to me in April. The Lily of the Valley was a birthday gift and the bouquet was a hostess gift. These photos were just taken yesterday, so they still look great after weeks.

























And... outside everything is starting to bloom (despite the lack of rain).

They are a bit roughed up by the wind.
