SPRING 2023, WEEK 6: I'll start the week with a welcome back of our long-lost dogwood tree. It's neighbor 'next door' probably didn't survive the winter freeze of 2021, but this one did.
This next picture is our almost-normal view of the pond; but this was taken not from our deck but just below it.
The white in the center is our pond dogwood, which just now has fully flowered. Our tulip magnolia is just to the right in the foreground. The flowers are almost gone as the leaves begin to fill out.
In this view of the barn/fire pit the grass is finally ready for limited mowing, but the trees are mostly bare and the brush in the adjacent lot has not yet begun to leave hibernation.
Here's a view of the house below the deck. The azaleas below the retaining wall/stairs are doing well, but the smaller perennials further along the walk have just begun to emerge.
Looking northwest along our road one can see that the deciduous trees are still bare. I can see a few buds just beginning, but it's going to be a few weeks yet before they start to fill out.

Til next week then....
