Up and out early this morning with Misty to beat the rain.  Good timing as the rain started when we got back home.  Rained most of the day but the wind wasn't as bad as forecast.  I always love seeing the first Rhododendron flower ... looking forward to seeing the whole shrub covered in flowers in the next couple of weeks.  A lovely chat with my Aussie sister ... can't believe how many hours we were chatting for.  It takes us about half an hour to say goodbye!
