Just another day in paradise. Four inches of snow overnight on the fourth weekend of April is not common. I thought to go out and get cute pictures of things peeping out of the snow.
This is fritillaria persica, with camassia and bearded iris foliage in the background.
There isn't much cute out there.
It all looks fairly desperate. Like these poor daffodils, face down in the snow:
This little muscari seems to be holding its own:
Nice site you have going here.
I to am a S.E.Mich gardner. I have owned various properties through the years and enjoyed gardening in them all. My Wife and I have recently purchaced a home that had been owned by a erlderly couple who planted and maintained extensive gardens on just under a acre of prorerty for approximately 60 years (I was told he worked at Franks Nursery). Unfortunately it had gotten to large for them to handle as their health failed them, so we are in the process Identifing. (the collections of plants, trees, shrubery and perenials),weeding and general clean up which I figure will take the rest of this year as well as a good part of the next.
I was wondering how you went about setting up your site, as I would like to share some pics of this gardners paradise with others, as well as chat with other local gardners.
I hope you both are enjoying spring.
Happy gardening
Sincerely,
Ken

Actually Ken, my site was easy. It is hosted on TypePad, which is a service that provides just about everything you need for a journal site. They supply the web space servers, the program to write in, everything but the content.
You can read more about their product here.
