A pic taken this evening down the length of the garden
The newly leafing plant in the extreme foreground is Cornus Alba Sibirica 'Westonbirt'

Excellent!! Ya know Sam, I have been outside all morning pruning and doing stuff.....I even got giggly when I first got out there....I know, sounds silly, and I thought so too...

I am loving that I see so much life outside today....It's 66 right now and supposed to be 70.....I got hot out there....I love your picture....pure heaven....Wish I didn't have to work this afternoon....

Thanks!!!

Beautiful Sam! I think Spring is my favorite season. When everything is fresh. Seeing those first signs of life in the garden are priceless.

Very nice Sam.
That cornus looks very much like my own red twig Dogwood !

Ah Sam, I keep thinking maybe I'll just show up at your place; maybe you need a gardener (or better yet, a barkeep at McCoubrey's)? My Japanese maples ARE coming along, but nobody will ever mistake my garden for Ireland (the corn fields in the background are a dead giveaway)! Still, one can dream...

Don, I just a tour of your gardens and they are wonderful! Very nice indeed. I don't think it's fair though, that you've had way more plants bloom thus far (the end of April) then I'll have all summer long! ;(

Just beautiful. Thanks for the walk through

I missed your post Don, for some reason

You have a great website and some stunning pics. What a fabulous 'pond'

(I would call that a lake)

I have bookmarked your garen to have a closer look later
A camera fixed on to the head would be a great idea ... I have missed some terrific shots of wild life also. Now ... maybe that is actually possible
