Finding some joy in a dreary day

Hi Stan,
I really enjoy Lorlee's beautiful Texas flowers. Like Bonita, I wonder if we will ever see ours. In the meantime, here are two flowers picked from my children's garden. They are granddaughters Priscilla, 2, and Taylor, 3.
Think Spring!

(Thanks, Kath. Exactly what we need today. This dreary morning an old grouch hoped for just enough May weather to be able to belt sand a sheet of wood out on the garage apron, and let the cold, gusty wind carry the dust away. We've learned to not expect much any more, but apparently even this was way over the top. As soon as the raw wood was carefully clamped in place, sudden rain drenched it. @#X! - Defeated, we have retreated indoors, posted Priscilla and Taylor's delightful photo, lit a fire, and put on Norah Jones. Don't Know Why, but it's better now, and there's no alcohol involved. Yet. Thanks for your help.
