Was there ever a more glorious Easter Day? It’s just been beautiful in Hays. Everybody got a chocolate bunny on their pillow today! My guests have fragrant lilacs in their rooms, plucked from the back garden. Fresh mint and chives for breakfast tomorrow.
I brought home two boxes of plants today, so tomorrow I can plant flowers in all the porch planters. As the flower beds’ lilacs and tulips begin to fade in a couple of weeks, the irises, peonies and spirea will take their place…just in time (I hope) for Fort Hays State University’s commencement weekend.
A few days ago the petals from the white crab apple blossoms started to fall. They were so thick this year, when the breeze blew they drifted like snow against steps and rocks. Those flowers have scented the air for nearly two weeks now. Heavenly. Join us while it’s still springtime!
