Spring Springing!

So, yes, I didn't post any pictures over winter. Suffice to say it was very cold, snowy and icey! However, now spring has arrived and the garden is waking up as the snows recede. Following are a bunch of pictures, some that will hopefully be useful later as reference shots as, in the coming weeks, all the browns and greys are replaced with greens and flowers!

Autumn Colors

Bountiful Harvest

Last week we harvested the red currents, and it was a great year for them!! We got four full ice cream buckets of them....which translates into 48 jars of jelly. Ymmmmm. The picture of them in the pan represents about 1.5 bucket's worth.

Purple and Red

A jungle of color!

Leopold the Frog

Behold, Leopold! He is a large frog living in our small pond. Can you find him in the top view?

Spring Garden Shots

Yes, I have been slacking. The garden, however, has not!
