Spring Blooms

 Weeping Red Bud Tree

 Japanese Maple and Daffodils

 Julep

 Peony 

On a whim I purchased a box of roots from Lowe's and

it amazes me they made it in this soil.  Being year #3

for these I am hopeful we get more blooms than last year.

 The birdbath is out and our back yard is overrun with

blackbirds.  They have been attacking the sunflower seed

and even the socks of thistle seed.  Once this food is gone

that's it for bird feeding until fall.  I've read on Facebook

that hummingbirds have been spotted in Maryland

so it's time to clean the hummer feeders and make food.

 Julep

 They follow me like a hawk as I walk around

the yard.

 By the front door.

Yes, the westies are watching me from the front door.

The viburnum plants [we have 3 of them] are covered with buds.

They will pop open with the next warm sunny day.

Oh and do they smell good.  It's like being inside of

a perfume bottle.
