Lately it has gotten cool again. It feels more like a normal spring season now, although the flowers are all blooming a little ahead of schedule :)

Tulips!

The entire front is dotted with little purple flowers of the vinca ground cover.

The vinca has spread and is beginning to cross the sidewalks to the grass and is creeping behind steps and in between the sidewalk!

The lemon balm and burdock has come back strong. Even the slight frost we had last night did not affect them too much.

The chives are flourishing.

The plum trees are beginning to bloom and sprout little red leaves.

And finally, the irises are growing well. They've spread again this year.

お休み！
