Signs of Spring

I have lots of trip photos to add but to be honest, it's kind of overwhelming this week. Next week I will get to them and you'll see all the wondrous sights we saw. Like Obama's motorcade and what Maura said about that. You will also see some zoo pics and a couple of monuments pics.

But until the rapid fire life schedule settles down, I will share some quiet and peaceful images of the lovely flora that grace our yard this week.  

First, maybe not so quiet OR peaceful but see how patient Adam is while attempting to mow the lawn, with help? 

David's favorite flowers; creeping phlox maybe? 

Dad R's flowering crab tree. 

The Japanese Maple actually looks wilted as it is coming to life.
