Blooms in May - 2011


Some of the first perennials are coming to life.
They have been snuggled under the heavy snow drifts for several months.
Mother Nature is just so amazing



Always one of the first flowers to bloom - Purple Columbine (Aquilegia)


The street that I live on is lined with Chestnut trees.
This one is directly in front of my house.


Two squirrels live in the tree in a well placed hole in the tree trunk. In the warm weather they live in a nest in the higher branches but when they are gathering nuts for the winter months they spend a lot of time in the tree trunk.

I enjoy observing them - they are so busy, playful and amusing to watch.


Ajuga - a beautiful ground cover that is great for those hard
to care for places in the garden. Also known as Bugle Weed.
