What's Blooming?

These hyacinths not only persist, they multiply here.

These narcissus were rescued from lawn grass 7 years ago. They continue to multiply. Better for part shade -they tend to fade in sunlight.

Not in bloom, but the buds are definitely swelling. This lilac is about 10 feet tall now.

Tomatoes are starting to sprout


Actually, these were visible 2 days ago.

First to sprout: Lemon Boy, Better Boy, Supersweet 100, Black Krim.

Some dried out. None are on a heated mat, just room temp on window sill.

Burnt Bridge Creek Trail

Ning and Baigou. And a glimpse of Charlie.
Trillium are blooming all along the trail.

Dogs in Spring

It looks vicious but it's all in play. They had a great time.
Practically in flight. I wish that I had that energy!
