We are experiencing the second day of highs in the 80's today! Date check? April 15, 2010...tax day. Location? Our back yard...AKA The Jungle. Playing in our backyard leads us to believe the previous owners loved two things...gardening and birds. We also know she was retired and took up much of her free time filling in gaps in the garden or heck, why not throw some tulips in the middle of the yard? I will be posting photos as our jungle garden takes shape but for now we have 2 trees in full bloom. The Magnolia is situated right off the back deck and in it's shadow there is the Cherry tree. The Magnolia puts off the sweetest scent that lets us know Spring is here. The Cherry is a pleasant surprise as we have picked many of cherries but had yet to see it bloom.

And the fruiting Cherry treeThe 80 degree days might just be an April tease but we are sure enjoying the fresh, warm air. We look forward to our ongoing battle with creeping charlie (ick!), planting veggies, arranging pots, setting up the water garden and making the Jungle our own!
