Lilacs and Such

Here are our lilacs in full bloom. We have 4 kinds...regular light purple, white, dark purple and a double-blossom light purple.

The hummingbirds are back.

May 24th...we woke up to a blizzard. The little hummer is all puffed out and keeping dry on the deck. My pot of marigolds hasn't budged in 2 weeks. No sun or warmth.

But the shrooms are enjoying all the rain!

Poor little hummer! I've never seen one poofed like that. That blizzard was MISERABLE!! You lilacs are lovely though. :)

Your yard looks really lovely...maybe dad is making good use of retirement!? I hope it survived the stupid blizzard! There was 3 inches of snow down here that stayed most of the day. My outside plants are not so happy right now.
