By the front steps, one of the few I've planted here myself, having saved it from the demolition of house that was being torn down a few blocks away to make way for a new house:

That was the same place I got the plum tree sapling, which is growing happily now along the north edge of the property. ^_^

annathepiper and I walked down to the shops today; on the way back, it started raining, but not hard enough that I minded, since I had a hat; we also stopped at the house that's for sale down the next block from ours, and poked around inside. It's very nice - it's also around 10% more than we paid for this one, despite being smaller and on a smaller lot. On the other hand, it does have a tiny lake view, but still - yeek!

But the best thing is that there's going to be a Sunday farmer's market down at the shops, starting June 12^th. It opens early, at 11AM, which is kind of early for me on a weekend day, but I'll try. ^_^ I hope it's a nice one. One at a time, the things we had to give up seem to be following us to the new house. Yay!

Also, I put a bunch of old Amiga stuff (and a few other things) up on eBay. If you care, search for auctions by dawnstargraphics. In the meantime, click through for another picture of the lillies.
