SPRING LEAVES, POST #1: The weather has been so crazy here (fog, rain, sleet, snow, hail, high winds, and freezing cold, all in one morning last week) that I'm just now starting my annual 'spring leaves' photo series. Here are the first pictures:

This is the pond, taken from the back deck.

And here is the house, taken from just down the road from our driveway.

I'm only about a month late compared to last year (March 5 start), but the trees seem to have maintained their schedule (here's April 16, 2017) while the flowering plants (hostas, day lilies) got fooled by an early warming.

I'll pick up the normal schedule on Sunday.
