Fox Visit.

5-10-15 SHORT HILLS: The yard is awash in flowers, it’s that time of the year. Today is sultry with a slight breeze and overcast sky.

The big exciting event today was a red fox sighting in the yard. Judy was outside early with the dogs who flushed the fox and chased it across the yard until it disappeared. Fortunately they didn’t get near it.

New blooms: chestnut tree, hawthorn, honeysuckle bush, burning bush, nannyberry viburnum, siebold viburnum, leucothoe, tea viburnum, doublefile viburnum, ajuga, wood hyacinth, may apple.


Chestnut tree flower.

Leucothoe, similar flower to blueberry, andromeda, lily-of-the-valley.

Ajuga, a fast spreading ground cover if it likes the conditions.

Wood hyacinth also comes in white and pink, it's happy in the shade.

Nannyberry viburnum, one of several viburnums in the yard.

Honeysuckle bush, also appears in white.
