Temperatures this weekend were in the high sixties, low seventies. I spent most of the weekend in the yard, pruning bushes, cutting back the butterfly bushes, hydrangeas, splitting the bearded irises, trimming back roses, spreading mulch, and basically doing the springtime garden chores.
With the warmer temperatures, a few things started to bloom. Here are a few crocuses and an infestation of children I found in my yard.
"If we are to have peace on earth ... our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. We must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools."
Martin Luther King, Jr. 1967
