Here's the star of the garden...so far!

We are about to leave for a ten-day trip to Kansas City.  My siblings and I try to get together once a year in KC.  We haven't all been together for a year and a half.  It will be great to be back "home" and be with all of them.

Meanwhile, spring is finally breaking out here in the Finger Lakes.  Marilyn has extensive gardens and they are beginning to show their colors.  Click on the video below to get a short tour of what's in bloom here in addition to the spectacular poppy above.
