Iris are blooming
Honeysuckle. The out layer.
Osric on the gate listening as Nora hoots him a grocery list.
Willa and Walter were in the nest tonight. Willa ignored me for a long time.
“Oh! Hey there, Paparazzo! And there’s la Paparazza! Is that mama I hear?”

The morning was blue
The irises were blue too
Also the evening

¿Después de dos meses? Sí
¡Milagro! Creo
Rain on a grid
Piddly puddles ponded on the drive

Well, ya’ll, Spunk here. The temperature’s rising, and while the Paparazzo waters, he pesters us with his clicks. He’s such a pest, but at least the flowers are blooming.
Wisteria hanging in the hood
It’s me, Glenda. I’m enjoying the heat, the cat tree, and the blooming blooms! Fortunately, the pesky Paparazzo is smart enough to know he doesn’t need to water the cat tree. However, we need to make him understand he doesn’t need to water cats the same as plants when we are outside.
Bearded Iris
Look deep into my eyes, pesky Paparazzo! You are feeling sleepy, and sleepier. You’re asleep! You will not pour water on me or the other kitties when we are outdoors. We are Cats, not Plants!
Austrian Copper and Lady Banks
Good evening! Gwendolyn here. Let me tell you that the pesky Paparazzo Bugs! He’s way worse than Spot, the orange ladybug, hanging out on the Peony buds.
Okay, you stupid paparazzo. Enough flower photos already. You are wearing everyone out. Especially moi!
These oddest of days
May 4th we go and flower
Overcome thy gloom
I irrigated on Thursday. A gopher hole created an unwanted lake that was draining water that the plants needed. After 30 minutes of trying to plug the hole where it was flowing out of the ground, which I knew wouldn’t work, I finally found two holes that were the source and plugged them. Not before getting a significant-sized lake. The whole thing reminded me of how the Salton Sea was created.
Loki was practicing his cat tree ballet.

I’m trying out a new photo editor called RAW Power. So far it’s pretty good.

Almost the same devilishly cool temperature inside as outside.

Pretty Peonies
We did not see the Peter, the owlet that flew the coop, tonight. He might have flown over to the bosque. Paul, the larger of these two, looks like he’s ready to fly. But poor little Mary still has some growing to do.
Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn among the stars. We had a clear morning.
