Here are some pictures of my flowers. They are gone now, but they were great while they were here. Enjoy.

Spring in Woodbury

It's been exceptionally warm here in Connecticut. It's been in the high 70's all week (and I guess last week also). Our yard needs a lot of work (remember how I wanted to level that little bit of yard we have). Grass is a mess, but we still need a little. After you everyone left last August we had to replace the well pump ($4,000). This week the furnace went out ($3,500 to ?). Luckily it's not cold. I posted a few of the photos (and even some movies) of the Utah trip here . Have a good weekend!

Spring in Arlington

We are so pleased to see the winter finally over. Kathy and I don't handle the cold very well. It takes fleece and down to get us through. This bed of "Crazy Daiseys" is truly an act of nature. Kathy planted these in another area across the driveway. They languished and finally were shaded out by the evergreen plantings above. Our neighbor planted some along the road next door and they came over to visit us. Welcome! We are finally makeing a big push to conquer the mass of wild vegetation behind the house. It has been a tangle of green briar, black berry vines and coral honeysuckle, with a good helping of poisen ivy. We have enlisted the help of of Javier, Angel, Junior and Omar, all related to our dear housekeeper, Veronica. They are pulling the vines and then covering the soil with layers of newspaper and 6" of bark mulch. Now on to the new landscaping. More crazy daiseys?
