SOMEWHERE UNDER THE RAINBOW

It rained hard all day yesterday but today we are experiencing some sun breaks.
A bright rainbow framed the water feature in our unfinished courtyard today. There we were right under the rainbow. The courtyard continues to progress the trellis is reaching new heights over the fountain and creating a lot of interest in the over all design.

TRELLIS OR ARBOR?

A friend and I had a conversation...Is it a trellis or an arbor? this is what dictionary.com says...

trel⋅lis  /ˈtrɛlɪs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [trel-is]
–noun
1. a frame or structure of latticework; lattice.
2. a framework of this kind used as a support for growing vines or plants.
3. a summerhouse, gazebo, arch, etc., made chiefly or completely of latticework.

ar⋅bor  /ˈɑrbər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [ahr-ber]
–noun 1. a leafy, shady recess formed by tree branches, shrubs, etc.
2. a latticework bower intertwined with climbing vines and flowers.

Anyway...the trellis/arbor is taking shape in the courtyard at Northwest Pool & Spa. What a difference it will make...a gardeners dream, the perfect frame for our outdoor courtyard. Separating us from our industrial surroundings...and then the plants, I CAN HARDLY WAIT.

LAST ONE IN...

It is back, the rain returned. It is cold today, perfect spa weather, come on in the water is fine.

Can you see them?

Today I saw them. The tulips I planted are breaking ground.
The rain stopped (for now) and the sun is shinning. Temperatures will soar around 55 today...feels like spring.
