Macbeth in Washington Square.

4-26-12 SHORT HILLS: Last night we saw “Macbeth” done by the Aquila Theatre Company at their new location in Washington Square. They do a wonderful job with Shakespeare. Sets, props, costuming are minimal—the words do it alone. Delivered by professionals, the Elizabethan lines come alive. The setting is intimate. We both loved it. See it and support it.

Meanwhile, back in the yard, I planted a Japanese snowbell, Styrax japonicus, near the back fence behind the pool. It’s a full, bushy tree with white, spring flowers that tolerates partial sun.

New blooms: May apple.
Dogwwood is still in bloom.
Blueberry has a distinctive barrel shaped flower.
