Alas, today a significant number of the delicate petals of the cherry blossoms fell to the ground, making an interesting mosaic on the mulch around the tree, the grass, and even on the nearby rose bed. We're having surprising cool weather, in the 40s with nighttime down near freezing, and today and yesterday it's been raining on and off.

For the last day or so, the hyacinths have lost most of their fragrance. But they're still beautiful!
