And so it begins...

Spring, that is. Here's a sampler of what's happening in my yard right now.






The winter Viburnum that smells heavenly and flowers before it gets leaves...















The little violet plants that thrive in bark chips on top of veggie barrier...(that's Briscoe
in the background)







The Pieris japonica looking pretty...











The mess of spirea branches filling out with leaves...






Grape hyacinths, which we have everywhere in our yard. They've naturalized into parts of the lawn, too!
