Green Thumb Sunday

Woke up to a little frost on the grass this morning. Spring comes, Spring goes. Sigh. The magnolia tree I showed you last week is looking a little ragged. I swept up a blanket of blossoms from the porch floor earlier. The ornamental cherry tree slowly bloomed this week, though. A week ago it barely had buds. Now look:

These guys finally bloomed after our warm weekend last week. I had a hard time getting a good photo, what with the wind and all...

I'm still waiting to see how many mums I lost with the long cold winter we had, and I'm not finding my lily of the valley at all. Not happy about that, but it makes me appreciate that much more what is growing and blooming.
