This has been a beautiful spring here in Connecticut!

 The double file viburnum and the other white flowering bush,

 The yellow azalea's by the front door,

and the pond: can you see the yellow iris? and the red azalea and orange poppies? I tried to pull out as many dead iris leaves as I could: I didn't even fall in. (won't say I didn't get a bit wet, though). No frogs yet, but the days have been warm, cold, and today, a beautiful 70 degrees.

Happy Spring!

Here's and update for May.

The magnolia in full bloom on April 27. We visited with Bob's college friends from Seattle. They loved the brook - Phil even put a rock in the dam at the old swimming pool. The dam is holding strong and the water is rushing over the slide by the 'sword factory' or satinet factory or whatever it really was...

Here's a picture of the daffodils and flowering quince by the patio pond. We saw lots of frog eggs, but no fish (yet?)

This was taken May 7 after Bob mowed the yard for the first time. The asparagus are still coming up heartily. I've weeded around them, so the next mower will see them and not cut them down!
