I've been enjoying my garden immensely, and have focused on it intently, while Dale attends to the nitty gritty of fixing toilet flushing mechanisms, and figuring out what's tripping the electrical circuit occasionally.
Dale took advantage of the very convenient worker's scaffolding over the weekend to mount our Starlink antenna on the roof.

Oh well! I also clean toilets and wash underwear sometimes, so it's not all leisure activities! And I'm picking up all sorts of things left in the yard that I regard as litter. I really am having a hard time understanding someone curating such a beautiful showy garden, and yet leaving remnants of their gardening chores lying around. I've found styrofoam, plant pots, chipped tiles, and plastic bags for topsoil left behind among the plantings. Who does that?
Benjamin's Buttons and Clematis are putting on quite a show. 
Our new dishwasher has now been installed, which I really appreciate ... though I fear I don't have enough dishes to run it before needing the next lot of clean kitchenware. It's so quiet, and doesn't chip dishes like I might in my Corian-like sink. Thank goodness J & M shared some of their spare cutlery and mugs with us, so we can feed and libate more than 2 people at a time! Guests are very welcome :-)
As far as weather goes, though it seems as if rain happens every day, it's often just a few drops, or a sprinkle now and again, or on and off rain and sun. It's not always a depressingly grey deluge, thank goodness.
A rainbow appeared after this moody cloud shuffled down the valley - quite dramatic light plays going on!
