ysabetwordsmithThese photos are mostly from the savanna. See the House Yard, South Lot, Savanna, and Prairie Garden.
At the end of the driveway, two puddles show signs of wildlife.
The south puddle holds tracks, likely squirrel but possibly raccoon.
The north puddle holds a lot of little dibble marks where birds have scooped up mud to build their nests, likely robins or barn swallows. It's exciting to see signs of nest building!
The 'Royal Family' hollies have some browning twigs, probably due to desiccating winter winds.
Looking south down the road, puddles show the recent rains.
This farm lies to the southwest.
To the northwest, the sky looks a little darker.
Along the west hedge of the savanna, daffodils are blooming.
The white garden stands at the southwest corner of the driveway.
Daffodils and tulips are blooming in the white garden.
You can just glimpse a white hyacinth.
This is the wagonwheel garden.
The last of the crocuses are blooming.
This is the second of the pink mica rocks from Country Arbors. I haven't planted them yet.
This is a wide view of the telephone pole garden. Bergamot is taking over much of the middle.
Here is a closeup of the bergamot.
These look like little hollyhocks.
The old fish pond has naked lady lilies and daylilies sprouting all over.
The Colorado blue spruce looks bedraggled but it's still alive.
Forsythia blooms around the old fish pond.
Daffodils bloom around this row of seedlings near the west end of the savanna.
The Dolgo crabapple is leafing out.
The redbud sapling has flower buds that haven't opened yet. The larger tree doesn't even have that much.
The wildflower garden has been somewhat cleaned off, but still needs more work.
A few squills are blooming.
Russian comfrey is sprouting around this sapling.
Mosses cover this ring of bricks. I used these two types in my antique jar terrarium.
This type of moss is shaggy and yellow-green.
This moss is dark green and velvety.
Daffodils bloom around these oak seedlings.
