Withering tulip
Old, new
Spy Garden 4.10.17: in an effort to not be a perfectionist I have not cropped out the neighbor’s trashcans or the powerlines (which I normally do: is that crazy?! hahaah)
And is it really perfectionism or just creating a harmonious composition?!
Harvesting…
Lots of edible wild things; dandelions and their greens, henbit, violets, dock (made into a delicious salad)
Keeping the asparagus patch well-picked
Love how these tulips look even when withering away
Loads of garlic; in this shot you can see an older (probably 3 year old) garlic plant in the foreground and then one and two year old plants in the background
Young spring garlic (used the same as regular garlic, just not in clove form yet!)
Tomatoes!
It is very early for tomatoes to go in the ground so I left some inside under the grow lights but since it has been so warm and I had so many seedlings I went ahead and risked it; so we’ll see! Our average last frost date is April 21st but it has been a very mild winter.
New sights on the same old trails

“Are those even real?”
Cardinal (female)
Chattering male Cardinal saying “GO CARDS!”
Opening week at Busch Stadium!
I hadn’t been to a game in a few years and it was so cool to see this; I once worked at Perficient! (a local IT company)
One of his friends got to throw out the first pitch!

Another view of the Perficient Perch
More Cardinal red!
Lots of blue down there (Cubs fans)
We sat with his baseball team and who knew 11 year olds were so skilled in trash-talking! Ha!
Tigers opening week!
Tigers colors!

Happy Spring; hope your week is off to a good start!
It’s amazing how far along you are ahead of us. Tulips and asparagus! The last of our snow just melted today – it was 79!
I know; we barely had a winter! I’ve already pulled a tick off of myself, ha! Bet you enjoyed the warm day:)
It was glorious! But now we’re back to cooler, more seasonably temps.
Our week is off to an excellent start. Brunhilda got lit and I cooked up a storm. The weather is cooling down nicely and I am SO ready for winter. We are film making soon and life is windswept and interesting. Your soil is waking up and everything is starting to go wild and here’s to The Spy and his baseball and riding to the top on a sea of cheers.
We definitely got jipped on winter, but I have to say I am enjoying the more colorful photos of spring. “life is windswept and interesting” sounds very nice and I think I’m going to steal that phrase one day. Thanks for the baseball well-wishes and thank you for visiting :)
Looks like you all are ready!!!
Yes the planting has begun!!!
J’adore! These photos are so beautiful. Happy Spring!
