Spring things
The lilac bush went crazy this year. Butterflies are loving it, I am too.
Macro actually worked on the camera. There is a button, but when set on Auto the camera should actually switch when you are close up. Doesn’t always work, however. I am not in the habit of walking around the yard with glasses handy, so I never can tell if it’s going to work, lol!
The clematis I bought on sale last year. Seems to be doing okay after being eaten by the neighbors’ goat and/or pony last fall. Sort of a natural pruning, which it did NOT need. I am going to need a better trellis for it to climb, the one it has came with it and isn’t nearly large enough.
Kittens are out playing and starting to eat food.
They don’t always hold still long enough to take a photo.
The calico is the biggest kitten… and also the wildest one. She’s a week older than the other two.
Libby’s boys. Libby is in the upper left corner, and that is Tyler and Fluffy posing. They are almost all grown up now. Libby seems to have the most exotic looking children of all the cats.
I had a lot more photos but the light was horrible and some didn’t focus properly so I skipped the uploading.
Well, I have lots to do today, indoor stuff. Gotta get the new blinds hung so I can quit using a tablecloth for a curtain…. the usual cleaning and laundry stuff… some drawing and carving of a new stamp… and then bake a cake to take to work for my birthday. Sort of a preemptive cake, so that no one else brings one. I don’t particularly like cake.
hugs,

Beautiful photos of the lilac! I’m not planting any flowers this year, lots of fruiting trees and shrubs. My new boxes for my veggies are not done, so I haven’t even started that and my new asparagus plants (rootings?) are hating me for it. I potted the rhubarb I bought, several of the trees and the blackberries. The other trees I laid-in in my old veggie garden until I can get them in their new homes. Hard to dig with a messed up ankle, but it’s mostly okay now. Just been too busy.
Wish I was there to celebrate your 50th birthday with you. Your gift is on it’s way.
I planted a Jane Magnolia last weekend before I hurt my foot. I am so glad I got that done… but all the grass roots, rocks and extra dirt are still sittiing out there in the yard! The poor plant had got a bit dried out at the wrong time (at the store, probably) but it still had a few viable buds to bloom and they did so after I stuck it in the ground. HOPE the color was off because of the being potted thing… I want purple, not white! (it should be okay next year)
