See Previous | See Next This week is the season of petals all over the car! So much rain (yay!) and the lilacs and flowering chokecherry are looking lush and lovely. And my earliest irises are blooming. So pretty and sweet! Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years definitely supports this as the season of lilacs. (Though I’m sad more of my early irises don’t seem interested in flowering this year, as were hinted at from last year.) Looking back…
I just caught the baby bunny who lives near my back patio delicately eating fallen flower petals.

See Previous | See Next It’s tulips-and-apple-blossoms season and my garden is glowing! It’s always so gratifying when the Just-plants-lots-of-tulips-and-keeps-planting-tulips strategy pays off, as it definitely has this year. Last year was nope for tulips, but this year they’re back.

See Previous | See Next My garden is starting to be painted with spring colors this week! I’ve got tulips starting in front. The wild plum bushes are just starting to bloom. And my pretty, pretty pasque flower is showing its soft, feathery face. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years promises more blooming branches to come and yet more color from the tulips. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years, (despite a sad data-gap) promises pretty lilacs soon too….
Arrgh! degenerate filenames! I shake my fist at thee!

I just feel so much more hopeful when it’s rainy.
See Previous | See Next Well, we got more snow this week so that I woke up and looked outside and everything looked like it had been frosted with powdered sugar. It was cool enough and enough snow to hang around for a day or so and provide some proper moisture, so everything was beautiful, beautiful white and green. The winter brown has finally been chased away, and the tulips are really gearing themselves up to go. Looking back 1-2…
