The Trees are Feeling Springish
I love the first buds of spring — it’s like a giant teaser for the fantastic show that is soon to come. Here are some pictures of my trees budding in this warmer weather.

Spring has sprung on me quite early this year. Take a garden tour with me and see what has decided to come up a month or two early over here.
Urban wildlife is a reality for anyone living in the hills. In the long run, you (and your garden) will be happier if you can learn to live with the wildlife, stop fighting it, and actually enjoy the local fauna in your own yard.
I have Bearded Iris popping up in more colors than I have ever imagined. Come see the latest finds in my front yard!
As part of getting to know my new house, I like to walk around the yard at different times in the season to see what is blooming or coming up. This time, I’m exploring the many Rhododendrons current living on this property.
We stopped by the 5th Street Market in Eugene the other day, where a lot of the bulbs are in bloom. The diversity of the flower shapes and colors is just fantastic. This is definitely a spring treat! Enjoy the pictures, and I am sorry about the quality—I forgot my camera and had to use my Sidekick to take the pictures.
