Photos at the Car Hop
Last night we enjoyed some homemade root beer in frosty mugs at the car hop after a movie. It was fun to check out the cars and motorcycles there.
Photos of Allium
We initially planted allium because they would reportedly chase off the voles who were eating our tulip bulbs, but now we prize them on their own merit.
Photos of Lupine
Not too many lupine around here but I love them whenever I see them. And if you have a child around, read them a dear picture-book favorite of ours, Miss Rumphious (see here) in honor of these flowers!

Photos of Our Weeping Cherry Tree
Enjoy this year’s photos of our weeping cherry tree which was a housewarming present from my parents eighteen years ago… The goldfinches are particularly wonderful perching in it, and it is strikingly different in varying light.
Today’s Photos of Verdant Spring Green After Rain
The bright side of going off on a wild goose chase today was seeing all this incredible new green, all the more vibrant because it was wet!
Photos of Magnolias
I love the supple magnolia petals, so soft, perishable and fragrant, both pale and bright. I used to climb blooming magnolia trees as a child and their undulating forms often show up in my drawing and painting.
Photos of Forsythia
Forsythia is such a yummy daffodil color spraying in big early splotches.
So gay and welcome in early spring!

Here are photos of our blooming apricot tree… It is 95 degrees here today so spring will come on fast!
Think of a fruit where each flower is now… Enjoy!
