Here are some poppies from the Botanical Gardens:
And this is my neighbor's snowball bush. Don't think I've seen another one this tall!
And here are a pair of the geese that wintered over. If you look really hard, you can see one little gosling between the momma on the left and the tree:

There were several more babies but I was afraid to get too close. Momma and Papa eyed me suspiciously!

It was down to forty degrees last night and will be again tonight, then will warm up again. I keep getting out my sandals and then have to put them away. Sigh. Maybe soon I can get a pedicure.
Geese are certainly territorial about their little ones. I don't think they're nesting here yet.

I love the geese!
