Okay, today was a little better. The past few days have been, once again, terribly cold and rainy. Today made it up to 60 and was sunny. I left work a little early, but then again I have to work tomorrow as well. I took a lot of photos in the gardens this evening, because it wasn’t rainy and cold! Everything is starting to come up. The maple in the back yard:

The astilbe:

The hyacinths:

Bleeding heart and dog tooth violets:

The trillium are having the best year since I planted them:

The ferns are coming up:

The forsythia is in bloom:

I moved the basket planter to the front and put two pots of columbine and a pot of violas in it. Later, they will all be planted, I think in the back around the new cement bench.
