SPRING THAW

The snow is finally melting here in New Jersey.  And when the snow recedes, the beauty that is new spring life is revealed ...

pushing up through the snow to reach the sun ...

Like this bloom -- native to the area -- from the genus "Hewlett Packard".

Long before the storms set in, we gentle homeowners put things in the ground. Winter came, worked its magic and then retreated, leaving behind blossoms in abundance --


A fragrant bouquet of Old Carpet Padding.

O, Spring!  Thy beauty ever new!

And you wondered why they called us "The Garden State."
