Spring, at least for a while

We have had beautiful spring weather for the last week. The wooded area in back of our house is filled with blooming crocus. It is truly lovely.

The rest of the back yard is a wreck. We had two large trees taken out a couple of days ago. They were too close to the house, so, although healthy trees, they had to go. The tree people brought in the heavy artillery to do it. At one point we had a cherry picker, a dump truck with attached chipper, and three Bobcats working in our and the neighbors' yards. We are going to have to do some serious reconstruction work on the yard, as a consequence.
If you want to see some other beautiful spring wildflowers, I recommend that you look at the Yellowstone pictures I put in a week or so ago. In the mountains of Yellowstone, it was spring in July. The link is below the crocus picture, or on the right under the archives.
