I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.

It’s been a very rainy spring here in New England but between rain drops I was able to capture a few pictures of what’s happening in the garden. At this time of year each day adds new sights, sounds and smells to the garden. It’s time go get outside and enjoy the longer days.

Spring flowering bulbs.

Trillium, trout lily and large flowered bellwort

Ferns and Aralia bursting onto the scene

Variegated Solomon’s Seal, Virginia Bluebells and Pulmonaria Trevi Fountain

Lilacs
