4 & 6 May - Flowers!!

I'm posting one just a bit out of order, simply because these two are related. On the 4th, I decided to grab a shot of one of the surprises in our yard... ( for some reason, it had completely escaped me that we had lilacs! )

And, skipping ahead two days, I wanted to get a photo of the front planter area, out near our mailbox. I'd forgotten those purple flowers were there and had planted daffodil and tulip bulbs. ( Aside from being a tad overgrown, I think the different types of flowers actually look pretty good together! )

5 May - Yabba Dabba Doo Time!

Stepping back a day, I ended up driving down to the tiny community of Stillwater, which is southeast of us... between Duvall and Carnation. I don't think it ever incorporated as a town and mostly seems to be an intersection with a convenience/gas store, a huge barn and a few houses. On one of the local community discussion boards, it had been mentioned that a new feature had shown up, though, ( and I had to go down to see it for myself. )

7 May - Waiting for the Drip

Sometime after we moved in, the faucet on the tub in the master bathroom developed a drip. Numfar decided that it existed solely for her pleasure, and we'd quite often walk into the room to find her licking water off the bottom of the tub and waiting for another drip... And then last week, rackham had a chance to take things apart and managed to figure out what was wrong (and, even better, fix it). ( The next morning, I went in to take a shower and was greeted by an amusing sight. )
