From the original bit of landscaping in the area we call The Grove, two of the four cherry trees remain and they have been dwarfed and stunted by the massive growth and domination of the Bradford pear placed in the center of that square. Still, this is the week where they are strutting their spring stuff and, against the bit of blue sky that poked out yesterday, I grabbed a shot of their glory with my phone.
The yard is also newly adorned with the wonderful gift of daffodil bulbs from Donna Whitley-Smith, and they have emerged for the first time looking bold and beautiful in their various shades of yellow and gold.
The first wave of my previously-planted miniature daffodils are also dancing at the front of the yard above the sidewalk:
The second wave of crocus have also begun to bloom:
Overall, the crocus aren't putting on as much of a show this spring. I wonder if squirrels have run off with a number of the bulbs...?
The new leaves are also clearly out on most of the azalea bushes, too, and one small bud is showing red on one of them, although it's still early yet for them.
