De-poped? Un-poped?

Pope’s dead; RIP. Let’s do spring cleaning. [Actually, the cleaning was planned late last week.] BTW, knee pads make floor cleaning much less painful.

Peony science

I don’t remember ever doing a night peony inspection. Turns out they fold their petals a bit, if this sample is representative.

Easter Eve

Just in time for tomorrow’s bunny visits, the peonies are open! [Neighbor-peonies, not in our garden, I admit.]

Night-blurring

I see an interesting muddiness in this night exposure…that doesn’t look like it’s nighttime.

Maple sky

The title says it all. Although momentarily I wondered if this was a tulip poplar…but, nope, it’s a maple.

New reality

Workers are reloading new shelving units in our upgraded local TJs, including the fridges. We saw one fella working from photos to get the cheese layout correct…or at least familiar to the shoppers (and stockers).

Showtime

Alignment…via draped wires and cables and whatnot.

Don’t be fooled

Fleur blanc

Fleur blanc is not beurre blanc.

🤣 🤣 🤣

No flocks of phlox blooms any more this spring.

Fringetree, posing

Until today when I dug into The Great Database In The Cloud, I didn’t know that fringetrees are native to greater eastern North America(ish), including the Southeast. And here’s a specimen to delight and amaze!
