Set 01 of My
Early Springtime
Favorites
Bob Jensen at
Trinity University
The lupine and other field flowers have not yet bloomed in these mountains
And the lilac buds have not yet burst
And my 150 Sun Impatiens @ $3.99 each are still seedlings
But the flowering trees are in full bloom
And the phlox of springtime are magnificent
In April when cherry trees are blossoming in many parts of the United States
Our wild cherry tree is blooming with ice crystals
And our driveway birch trees are still in misery
And this hungry bird is stripping off what is left of the berries on our wild
cranberry bushes
And at long last the color green is everywhere
By early May I'm wishing for more color to go with the green surrounding my
wishing well
And then in May our purplish azaleas add color to our lives
And then come the magnificent phlox in front of the cottage and in the rock
garden behind our cottage
For these I pay a price by daily having to pull the pesky grass shoots from the
phlox
In years past Erika helped me tend the rock garden
But I will not let her near her gardens this year while she recovers from her
14th spine surgery
And in our South Garden the Polka Weigela that blooms for quite a long time
even in high winds
And for several weeks I will have a million dandelions
Then there's the crab apple that looks so sweet and tastes so sour
And here are some of my favorite springtime photos from years past
In Amsterdam
