Couple of pictures from the garden this evening.

Dog vomit slime mold has appeared in our garden and, let me tell you, it is aptly named. I’ll spare you the picture.

Thank you, lilacs, for a beautiful few weeks. See you next year.

Strawberries are blooming!

It’s very windy here at Green Man’s Grotto. Our resident pond frog is taking in the air before the storms rush in tonight.

It’s a beautiful spring day here. Rachel is outside giving our pond its spring cleaning. I’m inside preparing a budget presentation. One of these things is more fun than the other.

First sighting of the frog in our pond this year! Looks like he survived the winter. Can you see his head poking above the water near the edge?

We live on a 1/10 acre city lot, mostly covered in a house, detached garage and driveway. Rachel told me today that she has now sown 65 varieties of plants—perennials and annuals, flowers and vegetables. We have a wildlife pond, a grape arbor, and more room to expand. That’s a lot in a small space.
