Morning all. JB I do think this is an excellent year for dogwoods! Here they are simply loaded with blooms.

Yesterday as I drove around delivering my newspapers in the grey drizzly afternoon I couldn't help but notice how stunning each house landscape was, even if there was only one tree or an azalea bush or two! I was visually awe struck for three hours and then arrived home to view my own place as a glorious garden, too, that Nature had painted upon with colorful abandon. This is the "long Spring" that features so prominently in why Maryland. We are doing ourselves proud here! Each home another page from H & G Beautiful. The skies may have said 'bleak' and the thermometer 'cool' but that made the blooms stand out ever so much more than a bright blue 80 degrees ever could.
