A Few Hours of Sunshine

I mowed the lawn less than a week ago, but we have had so much rain, it is once again very long. During today's brief sun appearance the honey bees made up for lost time pollinating all the wild lawn daisys while I set up a small agility course for the dogs. (Poor things have not had practice for about a month. I still have chest congestion and running is painful, but it was good to give the dogs a challenge.)
The greenhouse is filling-up with vegetable starts - some of which have had to be transplanted into gallon pots - and my hanging baskets. The weather is still too cold for the fuchsias and begonias to be hung outside and the garden is still under water and becoming very weed choked.
Rain is again here and is predicted for a few more days but today was good with it's few hours of sunshine.
