Spring Happenings

I love perennials. These bulbs and bushes bloom year after year with seemingly no regular maintenance. And each bloom comes out in turn. The crocuses are first, then the daffodils and tulips. The ornamental fruit trees blossom, and now it's time for the azaleas (above). In San Diego, the jacaranda trees blend in until they bloom bright lavender flowers. It's the same here, except many more trees and bushes bloom.
Greg and I saw John Williams conduct the Boston Pops again (we went last year, too). This year, we were joined by Greg's parents, aunt, and our friends Britt and Lauren. John Williams composed the scores for Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and so much more. It was awesome. See if you can get this one: dum dum dum/dum da-dum/dum da-dum (it's the Imperial March - Storm Troopers).
Billy in a bag. If you're looking for a great reusable shopping bag, I recommend RuMe bags (thanks, Mom). http://www.rumebags.com/index.php These bags fold up small enough to keep with you all the time, and they can hold a lot of goodies.
The lilacs were blooming a couple of weeks ago.

The roads here are lined with tall, thick, green trees.
