Blackthorn is such a cutie pie and I love his aristocratic name. Your garden looks beautiful despite the weather. The fact that you've been busy is evident. No wonder you want to be out there whenever you can.

I also find constant grey begins to get me down after around 2/3 days of it without even a hint of sun.<br />Although you do still have plenty going on in your garden; your Dicentra is ahead of mine and we could do with some of your rain - many parts of the UK are now in hosepipe bans due to a very dry spring last year and winter this year.<br />If we'd had as much rain as you're experiencing most of my plants would be little stumps now thanks to snails/slugs!!

I sometimes wonder how the poor birds here make it when we're having 45-60 mile winds blowing, which is not uncommon during the spring. The weatherman is predicting that we'll get some of your rain come Sunday. I sure hope so.

Glad you got out for a walk. It does feel nice, although if this weather pattern stays as long as it did last year, I think there will be reports of abnormally high new prescriptions of anti-depressants in the PNW!!
