My World of Hail

I was preparing to go to the community garden plot on Saturday because we had a sunny day. 

However we had a snowy hail fall down fast and furious that afternoon.

It looked quite eerie and the sky was quite dark.

The birds were flapping crazily but they quickly disappeared.

I couldn't do any outdoor gardening but I managed to repot a number of indoor plants that were very much in need of it.

I've done a lot of reading over the cold, darker months. These are the books I've completed to date.

Out of the completed books I most enjoyed A Trial in Venice, Pure Land, The Shogun's Queen and The Goldfinch.
You can learn more about each book by clicking on the titles if you are interested.
I'm currently reading The Last Concubine (the 2nd in the series written by Lesley Downer), Wardrobe Wake Up and The Orphan Thief.

Linking up with Our World Tuesday.

Delicate Blossoms

Despite all the rain the blossoms are coming out in full force. 

It's a bit hard to see them with all the gray in the sky.

I played with the effect (called "Rouge") here for a little variety.

These photos were taken on Thursday, March 5th, another very rainy day.

We are expecting a bit of sunshine this weekend.


Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Enjoy your weekend.
