I will never catch up. Great shots. Our garden loved all the rain, but most of the tulips did not. Many of the opened ones are ruined, but more to come. I will download most into a slide show, but not tonight. The narcissus did better. I have a few new loves. 'Bantam' for one.

I found many of my primula in bloom today when the sun finally came out, and was feeling pretty good, until I looked at the photo's taken at Tower Hill tonight, lovely and thanks. Back to reality

Big news is that my old car, a1989 jeep, is gone, donated to the guys who are bringing my mulch. I hope they bring me an extra scoop as "Bob" was a good ride for many years. It spent many years on Nantucket, then in Vt and then with our son in Maine for 3 years before a final couple of years here, until she did her last run today.

The other high point is that I finally got a Fritillaria persica to bloom!!!! Many years of having no blooms. New spot and a better dance. Here it is. Patti
