These awesome flowers have sprouted up in front of the house. When I was a kid, we called them gear shift knobs. I like them a lot.
We've just had a lovely weekend here at 83 Durant with many of our Western Mass friends coming out for a visit.
The garden is looking good. Check it out:
There are lot of little sprouts popping up. We decided that the large leafy thing that sprouted on its own was a weed (not rhubarb, as we had hoped) so Jess dispatched with it quickly, as seen here:
Here are some of the ladies relaxing under the deck. You can also see our two lovely hanging baskets, which we bought at the Northampton Farmer's Market.
We moved the grill to the front yard and had quite a lovely time -- thanks to all our guests!
From the picture it looks like the big leaved weed is burdock. It is a good thing that you pulled it out. Later you would be finding its seeds (burs) in your socks.
