Return of the Frost.

4-9-26 SHORT HILLS: April is being April. After warm days, we had freezing temps the last two nights. It got up to about 50° during the day. 

I did some work on the pool cover and on overgrown flagstones by the house and dumped the dirt in dog holes. My back told me how hard it was the next day.

We had dinner with Alan and Nancy, and lunch with Elaine and Richard later in the week.

Did I mention, we bought a new Subaru Hybrid Forester last Friday.

New blooms: saucer magnolia, quince, pear tree, PJM rhodo, violet, dandelion. 

Here's a better picture of the Yoshino cherry tree.

Pear tree. along the highway between here and Morristown, these trees are everywhere, self seeded.

Saucer magnolia, the frost nipped it in the bud.

Quince may also have been frost bitten.

Violet is little and tiny, but not a spring ephemeral because the foliage lasts all summer.
