Spring

 Sometimes it's hard to tell which end is up.

 Though we still have had no rain, Spring is showing up.  The Viburnum are about to bloom. When we finally get rain, Spring will explode.  Hopefully this happens later today.

 Hostas are popping up everywhere.

 The Japanese Maples are opening.

 The W's are spending a lot of time outside.

 We build a fire in the fire pit each night.

 One W is already laying in front of the fan in the garden room to cool off.

 Spring work has begun.  They just replaced this side of the house last Summer but did not insulate well enough and I had frozen pipes this Winter.  So, here we go again.  The joys of old houses and incompetent workers.

 Winnie is happy to have workers here, she's the only one.

 Oakleaf Hydrangeas hold on to winter even though spring is peeking out.

 My Fall Flowering Cherry is putting on quite a show this year.

Sitting under it is like sitting under a beautiful, delicate lace umbrella.
