poppin' up everywhere

Roger, my mother's husband, rescued me from the black hole of blogging without a camera (thank you, thank you, thank you, Roger!). As you know, ours went kapoot, so he was kind enough to give me a loaner. Here are some things poppin' up around here...

The dogwoods are in bloom,

as are the irises,

wild columbines are too,

and the lilacs,

our front yard is full of fleabane,

and our woods have splashes of fire pinks,

and pink-flowered wood sorrel...

but, of course, the most beautiful thing in all of my one-acre haven has got to be this...

brown turkey figs!
