rain.

enjoying the sounds and smells of a very soothing and calm late afternoon rain shower; one of my favorite parts about late spring in the midwest.

i spent the day around the house getting things situated in my last few days here before i leave. planted some morning glorys on the east side of our house and i'm excited to see what they will be when i return in august. filled some pots for the end of our driveway to live next to that purple stuff that blooms all summer and some dark red lilies that don't bloom until the end of july or later. the big pot will hopefully sprout some snapdragons (the tall ones) in the center where i planted the seeds.

other than that i've been cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing, and everything else to get this house ready for 3 months of bachelor-pad-ness. (don't worry about the flowers while i'm gone, the hubs is usually the one who remembers to water them anyways). i'm feeling quite relaxed after a day of elbow grease and dirty fingernails.

how's your week going?
