First in full bloom

We had a drop of rain last night too which always enhances a flower picture. It is supposed to get to 80 today and then drop  into the 60s for the rest of the week. Going to Alison's for lunch; don't know yet how many of us will be there, only sure of Ian and Rhonda, which is great because he has such difficulty getting up the steps into her house. Why do we still build houses without an entrance at grade?!
