The Third Lockdown, Day 30: Come Hell or High Water.

Today is the penultimate day of our third lockdown in France (just before we enter several weeks/months of quasi-lockdown). 

Yesterday was marginally on the wet side...

Outside venues allowed...

Despite all this wet stuff, there were signs of life.

The ponds are beginning to burst forth, in praise of the inundation, although, to be fair, they were already a little damp...

The first irises are blooming:

The Koi are hungry after a winter of strict dieting, with no more success than I.

The first white water lilies explode.

The red ones are trying hard.

Elsewhere, the lotus raises its first small leaves, soon to be replaced by giants.

Although the garden needs this falling life's blood, it does make gardening a little uncomfortable. Thus, I headed towards the darker side...

Which now consists of hell itself:

Purgatory:

And the heavens above all...

Tomorrow is the last day of our lockdown. 

Tomorrow is the last day of these blogs. 

After that, wouldn't it be kinda nice TO SEE MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! 

I will do just that, come hell or high water.
