I walked around the yard a few minutes Saturday and, thanks to the fact that my family cleaned leaves from the yard all day while I worked inside, I could see that the green grass was growing up thick and strong, and would be ready for mowing in a day or two.
I couldn't help but recall that less that 2 weeks ago, the front yard looked like this:

I've only tried a few other photographs.

For truly beautiful bird images,
be sure to visit my friend's website,
Carole is from Lake Macquarie, N.S.W., Australia.
The wildlife and plants are amazing there.
It's such a treat to follow her blog!

It took us 2 days longer than other yards
in the neighborhood to have all the snow melt from the yard.
We seem to be behind on blooming trees and bushes this year too.

Thanks for joining me for a little walk through the yard today!
Maybe we'll venture into the back next week...or the Japanese garden!
We'll no doubt follow the blooms.
Have a good week!
