Spring came early in Michigan

I am fortunate to have friends who really know how to garden. Barbara is both an adjunct professor of marketing and a master gardener. Carol is a physician assistant with three kids. They have very full lives and beautiful gardens as well. These three pictures (and the hyancinth below) I took last Saturday out at Marty & Dorothy's place. They scheduled a two-week vacation down in Georgia, planned well in advance to precede the first spring blush. Last weekend was the middle of their two-week vacation. We have had an unusually warm spring here (although it is supposed to freeze tonight). They emailed me before they left and said that I might as well drop by and see their garden in bloom; they would be gone. So I took 173 pictures. To compare talent: I have four tulips almost opening; they have hundreds of tulips and daffodils and hyacinths and pansies and flowering shrubs -- look for yourself. So I took the pictures for them (I made a CD) and for me. Maybe I will print a few out and take it out to my sorry garden and tell my flowers to start putting out!
