spring! finally - flowers in my yard

These are the flowers blooming in my yard this week. I planted 50 of the bright yellow waterlily tulips (top) in my front yard last fall and they're in full bloom now. The bright cerise Batalini tulips (bottom left) are at my community garden plot. I love early tulips! They open in the sun and close when its cloudy. I'm so happy to see them after a long and snowy winter.



I bought a tray full of bright little violas to plat in the big pots in my back yard for a cheerful view from my kitchen window.
