Wildflowers
As I was uploading these shots I took around town I got to thinking about Lady Bird Johnson and how she loved wildflowers; how she helped establish The Wildflower Center where you can get all sorts of gardening advice as well as help identifying virtually any flower or plant.
Mrs. Johnson would have celebrated her 100th birthday this year and there are many events planned to honor her.
"Where flowers bloom so does hope."

Seen Around Town
In this last shot you see "angry bird cat"
My granddaughter Hope put a bird garden stake
against my stone cat.
She is delighted with this.

Gardening Weekend
One of my favorite towns sponsored a weekend full of gardening events. The Keyport Garden Club does great work all year round.
Public areas in town are decorated with planters full of seasonal flowers
Private residences are encouraged to sign up for garden walks to show off their blooms
Members of the garden club were setting up at the gazebo. There were maps of the walking tours and demonstrations of various planting techniques along with plant sales and activities for children. The gazebo and town square above it (where I was standing) are adjacent to the marina so boaters were out and a helicopter was buzzing about.
Most of the activities were scheduled for 11 AM to 3 PM but I had already been out since 7 AM so I avoided the heat and the crowds. Before I left I did go in search of one of the butterflys

Officially Spring ...
... although it has seemed like spring, even summer, more days than not since Christmas.
