5-6-14 SHORT HILLS: The Med School is a totally different place than it was, with only a few recognizable buildings from fifty years ago—as it should be.
Spring is once again underway and picking up steam. It has been dry since the big rain, but that soaking is what the yard seemed to need. All the trees show some activity and, all the shrubs except crepe myrtle and rose-of-Sharon. The flowers are on schedule.
Maizie the dog ate one control valve for the sprinkler system! It was repaired, but now it operates two zones instead of one so it will need further repair. It never ends.
New blooms: Kwanzan cherry, apple, lamium, barberry, mertensia, redbud, Chinese snowball viburnum.
Another white fruit tree flower, this one is apple.
Kwanzan cherry says Pink.
Virginia blue bell [Mertensia] like on the woodsy floor.
Chinese snowball viburnum. The first viburnum and the most fragrant. The aroma fills that corner of the yard.
