Here's what I found this week on my Second Look.
 |
| The dogwood trees have started to bloom. The simplicity of this bloom makes it my favorite among all of the blooming trees. |
 |
| Critters have eaten most of our tulips until this is the only one that returns year to year. |
 |
| New growth on pieris japonica |
 |
| There seem to be fewer squirrels this year than last year. |
 |
| Yet another kind of daffodil has started to bloom. This one has two blooms from the top of one stem. |
 |
| Two nests waiting for eggs. |
 |
| It seemed as if one day the bleeding hearts were just emerging from the ground and then I turned around another day and they were in full bloom. |
 |
| This spindly little tree is a red bud in bloom. |
 |
| We found another skull when cutting the grass for the first time. This is the third one of these we have found in the last few months. I'm not sure what that means. |
 |
| Grape hyacinth among the lilies that are starting to grow. |
 |
| The cattle have been enjoying the nice spring weather. |
That squirrel is super-cute. We loved them when we lived in the US as kids :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you lived in the US. How long were you here?
DeleteI was there for a year when I was eight - in 1993. We lived in Cincinnati :)
DeleteI almost went to grad school in Cincinnati. But I didn't. But we did used to go there to watch baseball games.
DeleteOh, you have cows nearby, too! I wish we had something bigger than a raccoon to watch. We do have ducks, and I'll have to be satisfied with them. The last couple of mornings there has been one or two ducks standing in the road as I drive back to my house. Crazy things. They don't move out of the road as I approach, so I have to drive very slowly and go around them.
ReplyDeleteThe cows have been fun recently because there have been calves that have been running and jumping.
DeleteWhat beautiful garden pictures. For a minute I thought the squirrel was a garden statue and had to look twice! How exciting to have some nests happening, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe squirrel has been coming close to the house recently I think just to tease our cats.
DeleteIsn't it amazing how as soon as it warms up a bit everything starts growing. I only have to turn my back for a second at the moment and another bush or tree has started to bud or grow leaves.
ReplyDeleteYou can almost see it grow, can't you?
DeleteBeautiful!! Looks like spring is finally here :)
ReplyDeleteI hope that it has quit snowing enough for you that you can also say spring has arrived.
