Winter to Spring (still spring): MIDWEST CONTRASTS . . . . there is HOPE



December 2007
fast forward to:
May 2008 (less than 6 months)









I planted bulbs from Home depot 3 weeks ago:







The azelias look like fires:!






A closeup of the Lillies of the Valley (a song, Lilly of the Valley?)






I have yet to see lightning bugs (fireflies, luciernagas) but am eager anticipation. It still gets to the 40s at night so I am waiting to hang my humminb bird feeder (I hear they make excellent pie fillings!).

How is spring there? We have planted seeds in little cups; and have a few more bulbs to stick in the ground (Iris's, Lilly of the Valley, Lillies (large), ferns..... have have been stuck in the ground already).



ITS SO GREEN:





This is what I thought nature was last May; Flowers in the median of MICHIGAN AVENUE.



Amazing, and the colors.
