Strange weather has been the byword for months now. A year so abnormally dry, when I cleaned the last of the flower beds behind the Cabin last Saturday, the dust was flying. But - the Rain came! Our total by the afternoon of Saturday the 15th, was just under 2".

As Nika's tree began to bloom, I was sad. This is the first spring without Nika being here with us~

After a huge mess, torn up lawn & another fence panel destroyed, the piles of wood from the Mulberry tree are finally gone! The east fence looked so bare, after years of viewing the piles of wood. I'd even put a "free wood" ad on the local Facebook page & didn't receive one response.
Taking down the huge old tree, was one of the first things we did after moving in. It was leaning toward the neighbor's house, hollow down the center & we didn't want it falling either direction. I thought I'd "do something" with the wood, but that just didn't happen.

My timing was perfect, since Home Depot had just received their spring shipment of potted Emerald Greens. It will take them a while, but eventually they'll provide something of a privacy screen. The cost to have the fence repaired is almost double what it was a year ago, after the neighbor damaged it. (He did cover the cost.)

| 4-20-2023 The woods ~ |
The woods are returning to life! Flowers undermined by the moles last season, are breaking ground. The phlox starts Clara gave me have doubled in size, as have the bleeding hearts! All the peonies too - have grown. Now! If the record low forecast for tonight doesn't burn everything - I'll hope to see more blooms soon!
