So, I finally wrote last week's backyard update, and figured I'd better do this week's while I had the chance! After all the digging mom and I did last weekend, the rain still won out and while it didn't flood, it didn't drain, either. So today we went out and widened the trench and straightened out the curve in the hopes that the water will drain easier (yes, it's supposed to rain AGAIN this coming week!).

Luckily it looks like out daffy are doing really well:
And the bees are enjoying the rosemary blossoms. Yes, we have bees in January. Weird I know.
Cheers!
