A hot day in May

It got to 89 degrees on Thursday here – I wandered around the yard taking pictures.  Here’s a nice photo tour of our yard – Spring is in full swing.  It was 89, and next week they are saying we are supposed to get some snow showers – I think (hope!) it will just be mixed with rain and not actually stick to the ground.  We’ll see; it’s the U.P. after all.  Sigh…

Our yard is greening up nicely.

This is the mystery plant from my Leeks post last week - they are now getting yellow flowers. I still don't know what these are - if you know, please leave me a comment.

Another one of the mystery flowers - they grow in the woods.

Our willow tree in the front yard. The trees are all getting buds now.

My garlic is doing well - I planted this last fall. This is my first time growing garlic.

This is supposed to be an asparagus patch. My mom kept it as one for a long time, but it stopped producing. It's surrounded by narcissus, which are not blooming yet, and need to be divided. So far my asparagus that I started last year has not appeared again, although we have a rhubarb (on the right) and a large mullein growing here (on the left).
