2009 Wildflower Report

All winter we had virtually no snow. Then, came spring, and it would not stop snowing. Now that it’s essentially summer, we’re getting rain most days. It’s the greenest it’s been around here maybe ever. So, here are a few shots I thought you might enjoy. (P.S. We had a big bear run through our back pasture, mere feet from our back door last night, but my camera is s-l-o-w to turn on, and I missed getting a shot of it before it ran off. Very cool, though. I’ve never seen a bear before.)

 

If this rain keeps up, we might end up with meadows that look like they did in 2007 when I shot this photo of Lilly, which I use as my computer screen image because it makes me so happy.

 

 

Speaking of happy things, here is the only one of our wedding tulips that bloomed this year. Seventeen years and still going just like us.

And, of course, the gratuitous Lilly portrait.

I almost forgot to include this shot of our blooming lilacs. These flowers are about my favorite scent in the world. Reminds me of my Grandparent’s house.
