May has arrived – and with it, at long last, awesome spring weather! Our cherry trees held off on their blooms until now, and have finally woken up: I waited until too late in the day to get a more decent shot (long afternoon house shadows cast on the trees), and it’s hard to see there…
Spring has arrived! Sort of. We had spring-like weather the end of last week into the weekend, then Old Man Winter decided he needed to stick around longer with cold overnight lows.
