photo essay: things they did last weekend

though the weather was bad the first weekend of may, the baron and the husband and the dogs were able to spend some time outside. the husband mowed the lawn, while the baron took photos of their nascent gardens...


a white poppy, the first one to bloom this year.












lavender iris, the first one.




vegetable boxes, built by the husband during the week the baron was away.






arugula, seeded last weekend.






one of many ferns that survived the winter.





stairs to the not-yet-built-patio.










the 2009 christmas card... which still needs some work.
