My Forsythia bush really doesn't like it when it warms up and then gets cold again. These blooms are about all I got.

We had Amanda's birthday party last night. (A couple of her friends are still in high school, and last weekend was prom, so we put the party off for a week) She had a good turn out, 5 girls and 3 guys. Everything was gold because it was her golden birthday- 19 on the 19th.

I love my creeping phlox! I just have to figure out how to keep a certain dog away from it. Yuk.

I think this is some kind of crabapple tree. It's really pretty when it blooms.

The little lilac bush I planted last summer made it through the winter and actually has flower buds on it. I couldn't get a good picture of it, though. I'm very frustrated with the macro function on my camera. Oh, well, here's to lilacs.

I love this time of year. Everything seems so new, and every day something is blooming.

Today was a good day for washing the car, hosing down the screens, and cleaning out the garage. Luckily we got it all done before it started pouring.
