The weather has cooled off lately and returned to more normal springtime temperatures, and the spring flowers are loving it. My bleeding hearts are not quite as tall or as bushy as in previous years; I think the quick warm-up and then cool-down might have confused them, but the blooms are still as lovely as ever.
Our bluebells are also in full bloom. We have lots of bluebells along the property line with our neighbor on the west side. In fact, they are really kind of like weeds. Most years, I pull the dead blooms off to keep them from setting seed, but they still spread like crazy. They grow out of the stone wall, in the lawn, and have even migrated to a spot in the front yard under our hackberry tree. Luckily, they are a pretty pest!
I hope spring is beautiful wherever you are!
