| Crape Myrtle |
After the burst of warm weather in April, we had a freeze April 22nd that damaged this crape myrtle tree that sits next to our deck. All the leaves curled up and turned brown. This photo was taken three days after the freeze.

| Pansies |
There are four pots of pansies on the deck railing that the freeze did not bother.

Another pot of yellow pansies on the deck. This is one of the three pots that I put in the garage in January and left there until March, when I put them back on the deck. And they bloomed again.

| Perennial Bachelor buttons |
There are several perennial bachelor button plants that the deer never bother, but this year they ate all the flowers but these two.
 |
| Pink Peony bush |
There are five peony bushes in the back yard. This is the first one to bloom. The rest of the peony bushes are yellow and red.
 |
| Purple Iris |
A neighbor gave me this iris plant years ago. There are two other iris plants that are different, but they are just starting to bloom.
It has been so cloudy and unseasonably cool the last week and a half. We have been stuck in the 40's at night and 50's during the day. This week we are supposed to have three days of warmer weather. Then cooler than normal until the third week of May. We usually have temps in the 70"s and low 80's in May.
