    I miss my large vegetable garden, I went from starting around 400 plants a year 2 purchasing a couple so I can have at least some fresh tomatoes.
    These two plants are all I'm doing this year with tomatoes, I do have two more pots where I seeded squash.
    I planted these a few weeks ago they're really looking good.

    After the hard freeze in February, I was so afraid that the palm trees in the backyard wouldn't live, but they have shown signs of life in the past month.

    They are beautiful palms; I raised them from babies. :D I bought them probably 20 years ago from the garden center and they were about a foot tall at that time. I kept them in patio pots for a few years and finally had to transplant to the ground.

    I lived in a town outside of DC that was incorporated in the late 1800s. I lived there for almost 50 years. The street I grew up on was lined with old established trees whose branches touched, forming a canopy across the roadway. I bought a house in that same neighborhood and drove that street nearly every single day.

    I loved this time of year. Every year in the spring I would drive up that street and notice that everything seemed to bud all at once. It would magically transform from leafless branches to a tunnel of life, seemingly overnight.

    It always made me smile.

    Great story, I've experienced going into those "tree caves" a couple of times and
    really loved affect. Never had flowers though.

    I saw this little fellow resting on a lily bud earlier. I wish the picture was better; he was a gorgeous silvery blue color. (The turtle in the background is actually a tile feature in the bottom of the pool.)

    I LOVE dragonflies. Nature's biplanes.

    There's a creek that's dammed up on my property and I got tons of them. They were one of the first critters I noticed when I moved here.
