This is the street that we were promised to have gotten back in the late summer of 2025.   I suppose this isn't too bad a record.   The sidewalk ceramics across the street are back in, even though the shaping doesn't really show.  My driveway is now concrete, not mud.  Picture 2 shows the Pond, still frozen on top most days, although it is showing signs of opening up this week!  At least this  coming weekend!!  Still no sign of little little animals, like my beloved Frogs.  But it's a start!  Especially if you are fond of Squirrels.

Chaim's favorite Black Squirrel Larry still seems to be going after his almonds!

Some of the prettiest plants of the week are also the tiniest - little blue Squills .  The name was provided by Dustin Vaughn and his Mom.  They are also called Scylla. 

Speaking of the smallest flowers, here are some of the mini-daffodils.

Here are some of the purple Crocuses that we saw last week - still blooming!  What are these purplish-pink fellows that started showing up this past week?  Each plant seems to have multiple flowers on it.  Aha, I do believe these are our Hellebores!

See you next Sunday!  Love, Martha
