Welcome

We left the crane out in the garden all winter and the weight of the snow bent one of his wings. Now he looks like he is bowing towards you as you come up the walkway. "Welcome to our home!"

Violets on the Patio

What a welcome surprise! These violets poked up between the stones of our patio giving us an early show of color.
