Garden Notes ~ Early April

I'll start with the oldest first.

One week after I posted my Looking for my garden post, I went out and took more pictures:

In my garden 3/28/06

most important to me: my first peek of my squill (Scilla siberica)

more pix of the grape vine twists, playing with the macro (there's more on my flickr pix, some with the sky behind like Kelly suggested, but I'm still having focus troubles with the macro):

daylillies starting to grow ...

In my garden Two Days Later 3/30/06

more squill buds ~ I can't quite capture the vibrant violet these are in the sun. They are deeper "in real life"

The next day those same 3 buds were in full bloom (more at Flickr):

more squill - click the link for larger sizes at flickr, some of these really turned out nice ~ maybe even "get prints to hang on the wall" nice:

And a double rainbow (also linked to the bigger flickr pix):

And a few days after that (Friday April 5th) we got our usual Michigan April Fool's:

and the leeks peeked out:

and last but not least, we found the crocus that hides in our "woods":

As of today, the patches of squill that turn into little blue oceans are filling in, but I think I still have another week before it peaks. I have many more pictures than I've posted, but I'm sure I've already overwhelmed my poor dial-up friends, and I apologize. I'll try to be more timely so that at least I'm only posting one day's worth, rather than more than a week!
