Spring Garden

Amongst the sheets of pouring rain, spring is in full swing here in Vancouver. The cherry blossoms are out . There's spring flowers everywhere. But it's rain, rain, rain at the moment. I guess I shouldn't complain because we actually live in a temperate rain forest region but it'd be good to get some blue sky and enjoy all those cherry blossoms.

Oh well, moaning aside ... the garden is blooming and it's really nice to see it returning. We've added some granite rocks here and there, which all the little birdies who have *flocked* to eat from the bird house jump around on.

Our evergreen clamatis we planted last year is growing like crazy and it's bloomed flowers. yeah!

There's a bunch of construction in the neighbourhood as the gentrification advances. Here's a picture of the old house across the road being demolished. We really liked the old German dude who lived there, and was sorry to see him move on.
