Spring Blooms

The dogwoods are at their prettiest I think, the leaves are starting to show on a few.   Won't be long before the flowers fade.   I have so much enjoyed their beauty this season.
the pink and white one was trimmed last year.

I think the trimming helped.
A peek over the fence to the backyard



the boxwood definitely need a trim

My sister's stone rabbit, was too heavy to take home the last visit - he rested here for Easter
A beaded butterfly Steve purchased

Last year there was just one lady slipper - there are two this year
white azalea
a lone tulip ,  I think the moles or voles got the rest.

Peonies have quite a few buds this year and ants love them
My white lilac has the scent of a Jasmine

It's been a very pleasant Easter week.  Today we had a few heavy downfalls of rain ,  glad for it as it washed a lot of the pollen away.
Happy Saturday

Easter Blessings

Easter was a pretty day with plenty of sunshine ,  so we brought the feast out of doors.  Ham, corn pudding, grits, mac salad, potato salad, fresh green beans and rolls .



My son Derek and Miranda with Adalyn and Genevieve
Annette made Adalyn and Genevieve an Easter basket and this one is Genevieves that Adalyn is taking a look at.
She rather be eating candy for sure
Mom is wearing the crown that was in Adalyns basket.   At 92,  she can wear anything she likes.

Derek trying to get Adalyns kite to fly,  looks like  he may like the idea more than Adalyn
She seems to prefer to play bad minton

Many Easter Blessings for sure
