Meanwhile, back at the ranch ...

I poked my head over the back fence today and saw a bit of color in our back yard!

Angelique Tulips int the lower bed

I've allowed this muscari to naturalize on the hillside .. here they play against a red rhododendron about to bloom.

This opens larger, and I image that it will become a header or theme for the site sometime soon.

The magnolia tree was also picture worthy this morning!
