SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 2007

Sunday is breakfast with the boys - Lewis and Dale, who worked with Dad at Goodyear. Mom goes sometimes, and I like to go when I come to visit. They've been retired for 15-20 years, and have been meeting every Sunday all that time. It's always interesting to visit with them. Afterwards, Mom and I worked down in the woods. The dog-tooth violets were blooming - at first you didn't see any flowers, then, once you started noticing them, they were everywhere!

The tiny little blue flowers are growing in the lawn. We took a drive through the Cuyahoga Valley, and came upon this drift of narcissus in the woods. They smelled heavenly! They are intermingled with daffodils, which were just about finished blooming. This was the site of a nursery back in the day, and they must have planted lots of bulbs, which have continued to naturalize and spread through the woods.
