I mentioned before that Spring is here, and now I’ve got proof.

• Spring in my yard photos

New leaves are showing up and there are even a couple things blooming in the yard, particularly the rhodadendron in the entry photo. I actually brought this plant from Indiana with me. The maple trees are also making a mess with flower droppings all over the driveway.

I took a few photos when we had really strong rain to record where the puddling spots were in the yard. The water disappeared pretty fast actually. It took alot of rain to make the puddles. Speaking of rain, our new roof looks good. I really like how much better the black roof looks to when it was grey. Grey just looked faded to me. Now I just need to paint the door red and get the decks painted. I do like how some of the houses in my neighborhood paint the trim of their house a slightly different shade than the rest of the house. I might look into that whenever we have to get our house painted next.
