Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
It’s still early, but here’s what’s happening today:
Lilacs are budding – just starting to bloom. It took years. My dear mother-in-law gave us this Lilac, and we transplanted it from our house in Seattle years ago. They don’t like to be moved so I’m happy to finally see it thriving. Thanks, mom. 🙂



The faithful Clematis are beginning their climb into the evergreens above. They will take over in May.



A special setting on my camera produced this dreamy result.

The Apple Tree is blooming on the other side of the fence so I’m expecting a good crop this year.

Tiny Periwinkles are appearing under the trees, here they’re surrounded by Sweet Woodruff and Ferns.


Candytuft are blooming, providing a spot of color beneath the Thimbleberries which have spread out their leaves, berries will follow.

You’ll notice the shaggy grass is in need of cutting.

Benji doesn’t care.
