Easter Greetings! Here are some photos from this morning. We had fun with our fake eggs and chicks.

Why does it seem like everything is blooming today? Even the Geranium Maderense is blooming for the first time!

The coral bells are blooming…And my favorite new flower for the hill, Bill Wallis Geranium or Geranium Pyrenacium is fabulous and nativizing. I have baby blue geraniums growing all along my rock wall in the clay soil (with hardly any water.) I love this plant. Thank you Annie’s Annuals (and perennials!)

We had some fun with our chickens and some baby “chicks”

They actually hated them and ran away. Then we added these eggs for our neighbor who is collecting them today. Surprise, Chuck!

egg box The only sad thing is that our puppy is sick and at the kennel so here is a photo of her. Wish her a speedy recovery! We miss you, Cleo, but at least we didn’t have to worry about you eating chocolate and Easter grass!

Spring Flowers

Last night the two kids and two dogs and I took a first day of spring walk. My daughter wanted to bring her chicken but I wouldn’t let her. Anyway, I felt we should commemorate the Equinox!

The first day of spring is a happy day for the gardener!

Yet here on the Point, we are in the gloom of spring fog. I see the edge of sun on the horizon, and think I will have to leave the house and drive to get some sunshine. (I haven’t seen the sun since Sunday when we were in Alpine at a friend’s house.) Living here in spring fog begins to wear on me after a while. And it’s only just the start. This could last into June.

Despite this gloom, which isn’t anything like the weather in the other parts of the country so I know you are saying “Geez, get over it!”, I have some beautiful flowers (and a few pets) in my garden. Here are a few photos from last weekend:
