Spring has finally sprung and the sunshine has been dreamy. It's rained so much that our fields grew thick with weeds and couldn't be tilled until now because of the moisture in the soil.
The sun was calling out to us like an old pal, so after dinner we went for a walk.
I can't wait to see those apple crates brimming with freshly picked apples. Actually, I'm looking forward to seeing leaves on the trees again.
And when the lilacs begin to bloom at the farmhouse next door? It will be like heaven.
In fact, all of Spokane will be heavenly. Our city is known as the Lilac City and you can see them everywhere.
We stayed out until the clouds began to gather and the sun was going down.
The wind began to howl and the rain came to visit. Again. But I'm okay with evening rain. The pitter pat outside makes it feel cozy inside our house.
In the morning, the clouds will roll out and the sun will reappear, just like clockwork. Because the fruit here needs to grow.
Welcome spring! You're dreamy.

I'm in Spokane too and the leaves on the trees feel like such a blessing this year!

Oh Lilacs love them....reminds me of my childhood- where they would grow wild in the mountains. Each home we have ever lived in I plant a lilac bush.
Thanks for sharing

My favorite thing about central/eastern WA is that it rains at night and is sunny by day!

Great pics! I grew up in the country and sure do miss the open space, quiet, freedom. Enjoy!!!

Your views are so beautiful Serena. I love the sound of rain on the roof too, although we don't get much of it around here.
The Mother's Day tribute to your sister was truly inspiring :-)
Blessings,
Marcia
