Plants...and Deadline

Incredibly soft new growth.
This is the season I wander around feeling the needles on the evergreen trees.  This particular spruce is the one we planted the fall we moved into this house.  That winter the wind howled and blew and pretty much every single needle on this tree disappeared.  It was only about 6 feet tall then, has nearly tripled in height and is a favorite of mine!
Love these peonies.

These lovely peonies were in a yard we were in this morning.  Love the stunning color.  Mine will be popping into bloom soon.  And it's nearly time for my annual picture through our stair window. The tri-color beech is nearing its peak of color - and it's a beauty!

Cameras all aimed at one can feel intimidating.
Today was the deadline for filing the testimony with the PSC.  The hearing will be later in the summer to determine whether or not Rocky Mtn. Power will be allowed to tack an additional fee onto the net metering customers (of which we are one).  The Husband is fighting this additional charge.  This morning found him speaking at a press conference in the yard of another man with solar panels.  3 of the local tv stations had news cameras there, as well as reporters from a couple newspapers.  It was an interesting experience.  I think The Husband was a teensy bit nervous with that row of cameras aimed at him.

Today I'm grateful for an awareness of the beauty of this world.  We must be very loved by our Creator.
