Last Frost to Nineties in Record Time

This last week saw several days above ninety degrees, without hardly passing through spring. This spring, I had a mental cutoff of needing to be above fifty in the morning before I would consider riding the scooter. This week was really the first shot at it. She started right up, and I got several commutes in. Just for the record, we started this season at about 1100 miles total.

Meanwhile, around the yard, things have been moving along. With the Big Spruce gone, things will be different, so many of these pictures are primarily to remind myself of what things look like. I'm also planning to have a fence put in, to keep the deer out of part of the space, and that will be a big improvement.
Apple blossoms

I want to move most of this stuff before the steps get replaced

Where the spruce used to be

Green and Gold is doing well on the steep bank

Pussytoes also doing well

I'm about ready to do without azaleas, but the white one was really nice this morning.

  2. Ooh, love the apple blossoms. We have a dwarf apple tree that makes blossoms but the squirrels usually get all the apples. Also, great idea to add fence to keep deer out. They are getting to be a real problem here They ate almost all of our tulips. It's frustrating. Love, Alice
