Raindrops on catkins

This really is a sign of spring. And I do love a raindrop.

And even though the drought is well behind us, I don't mind more (overnight) rain in the slightest. 

I got a cleaning bug today. Maybe another sign of spring? The truck and the new (bedroom) cabin are sparkling as a result. 

Bean made herself scarce when the vacuum cleaner started. Apparently it's out to get her...

I have been doing things with half my brain, while the other half has been thinking about my sil in Scotland who is struggling with cancer and the treatment she's receiving. And so brother #2 is struggling too. 

It takes me back to when my Pirate was ill, and forgotten memories have been surfacing. I have been quite pensive.

Thank you for your thoughtful and empathetic responses to yesterday's Blip. They are very much appreciated.
