I’m told by a couple of my aunts who know about such things that these are flowering cherry trees:

We have two in our front yard, right between the sidewalk and the street.

They burst into bloom yesterday and I think they are so lovely.

We’re supposed to have a big storm blow in tonight with lots of wind and possibly even hail. I’m a bit concerned about all the pretty pink petals in the wind!

I’ve thought about blogging a lot lately and I decided it is time to just do it instead of putting it off. Now that spring is just about here, I’m really enjoying our yard again! I started a bunch of seeds indoors a couple weeks back.

The sugar snap peas popped up almost immediately and have been in the garden for nearly a week now.

Apparently peas like to climb and their little tendrils will grab onto whatever they can reach to support themselves. If you look at that last picture really closely you might see where a tendril grabbed onto a bit of yarn from the trellis I built. That was in the afternoon of the day I planted them! It makes you think that if you sat there long enough and watched, you could see them growing. I hope my trellis is enough for the peas, I built it with just what I had handy.

You can also see the little edgings I installed in my kitchen garden so I now have three separate beds with aisles between so I can access them all easily enough. You may have also noticed the Tasha proof fence! Don’t worry, though, she has a favorite shady spot where she can observe all backyard events.
