Hello -- I'm glad to see you! :) Come inside and have a cup of tea. Hasn't this been a beautiful spring so far? Even though we had a couple of late freezes (not unexpected) the blooms still keep coming. Don't you love the way everything blooms in sequence, so it's not all gone at once? First the daffodils, the tulip magnolias, and the Japanese cherry trees, and they were prettier than ever this year. Then came the crabapple trees, the redbuds, and the dogwoods. It seems like they've all been spectacular this spring, although the dogwood blooms are still in the process of opening up. On the ground, it's time for tulips and iris, but we don't have any of those. However, I picked some flowers that have self-seeded in the wooded area next to our driveway.
