A little Better
Thanks to Barbie for my encouraging comments yesterday. As long as this won't turn into a permanent mudhole, I can live with it. And I added some more dirt and mulch. But if you step on the mulch, you'll sink about 6 inches.
I was at the Arboretum this afternoon and took some pictures of wildflowers. Enjoy!
Above is a Trillium -- named because of the three leaves that grow out from beneath the flower. The color of those flowers is stunning -- especially when you see a group of them in the bright green springime foliage.
And this is a close-up of one of the blossoms on a horse chestnut tree. It looks like a party decoration!
