what a day!

It did rain a little bit in the night  but today was beautiful for a walk  (not too early!) and working outside cleaning up the porch and deck and gutter--we ate outside and it was warm and wonderful.
This is the view north from the top of the hill -Wise Island out there. Sphinx in foreground.  .Saltspring and Vancouver island in the distance.    And that Scots broom is pretty but we are working to get rid of it  -in places....it will take over the view from the bench... H has done a great job in another area and the native plants do take over... ( a future blip about broom maybe...)
