Can I just emphasize how nice it is to see spring. Potatoes are in the ground, more garden to come in the next couple of weeks.




Look how much the hosta has grown.






The little bluebird of happiness..



Can I just say how beautiful the lilacs are this year.

What A Day

What a marvelous spring day, if only Mother Nature would stay this way...



Of course the wild violets are out in full force. Even after being mowed over by the mower Thursday. They are so small the mower doesn't usually touch them.




The first apple blossoms, this little antique tree is rushing through the season. Apple blossoms are quite pretty aren't they




The first hosta leaf that has opened, and would you look it's slug free for once.. (sure wish it would stay that way)





The northern mockingbird doing what it has done all day long. It is singing its little heart out. I don't know how many different songs it has, but it was certainly loud today :)

Snow & Blooms

Spring has come bouncing in but forgot to bring spring weather with it. The end of March had a nice wet snow arriving. By the time the first weekend of April was over we had pretty close to record high temperatures...




See I wasn't teasing about the snow!!




The Bradford pear is blooming very nicely...




I realized I have 3 different varieties of daffs blooming. I don't know which I like the best.




I think this one is my favorite. It's a bit tattered, but it went through a lot this week :D




This is a little daff, it is quite sweet and tiny
