First Flowers

I arrived home from a trip into the Adirondacks with the guys. A group of  families where we have thirty+ years of  messing with each other. No spring there yet. We did some gentlemanly camping at a small cabin . Propane heat and lights. Very cushy. Good food, good eats and good company.

Family was also visited. Stayed with Pam for two days.Spent a day with sisters and families.  Then stayed with Steve the next night. What could be better.

Crocus  blooms have already started to brown. Dafodils and this short Iris that was planted. The jacobs plant under the Crepe Myrtle is flowering. Enough letuce to make a salad.
