The breezy rain in these latter days of April 2009 has taken a toll on our beautiful blooming apple and crab apple trees. The ground under the apple looks like it has just snowed.
The wild flowers—trilliums, Virginia bluebells, Dutchman’s breeches are fully out and some are beginning to fade. The wild ginger has expanded its territory and I think I see the tips of the Jack in the Pulpits breaking through the mulch under the tupelo/black gum tree.

Thanks, Gus. I wish you were here to take the photos. Let’s just say your gift is greater than mine. ; – )

Hey, George, you’re photographic talents are wonderful!
And you have a greener thumb than I…speaking of comparisons.
