New Plants

I bought these plants today from a colleague at school. Not sure yet where I'll put them.

Grill Garden

Have not worked on this area yet this spring. Soon. Very soon.

Yard Work

Have been working the past couple days on the pictured part of the yard. It's starting to look as if someone is actually tending to it.

Bridal Wreath Spirea

Jim and Megan's bridal wreath spriria is budding nicely. I hope it produces some nice flowers this year.

Our Silver Maple

The leaves have not been a full on our silver maple for the past couple of years. We'll see how it does this year. Its buds are really starting to pop.

Buds

Well, this weekend has been lovely and both days saw the temperature climb to at least 70.

It's nice to start seeing some flowers.
