April showers have been abundant around here lately. We had a lovely Easter weekend spend with family.
Lots of blooms around here these days. The dogwood is blooming nicely. The azaleas are ready to pop with their color, and the lilac bushes are wide awake. Tulips are wide awake. And did I tell you I love pink and purple? Well, I do! Especially when it comes to flowers.
Annual Garden Update:
The Onion sets are in and I can see a hint of green peeking up through the ground.
Lettuce is next - the seeds are calling me - maybe this weekend.
