MID-APRIL SNOW

at least it was only this much... temp was 27f...

the daffs hid their faces on the ground

i was amending the soil in the potager the day before...

you can see the nectarine trees in bloom... 
the flowers survived...

snow is a new backdrop for m. leonard messel

10 days later in the potager... 

all ready to be planted, pansies in place...

yoshino cherry and m. ruby (recovering from storms past)

colton frolicking with muddy feet...

LONDON: BRICK LANE STREET ART

we traveled to london in march... 

more on the gardens later...

we happened upon street art in the brick lane area - i started noticing some really fine paintings, and then saw actual tour groups! so here are the best photos... the streets were slanted, and the light was not the best, as this was not planned.

here's a street scene... note the pink monster at top and the car with the antlered grenade thingy... and the red car in the box. this quirky, entertaining neighborhood also had wonderful markets with food from all around the world.
