Lilacs and Apple Blossoms

Today was a day to welcome the lilacs and the apple blossoms. They are just opening and will need a week to be fragrant but we are very happy to see them.
We had a surprise visit from Little Gwyn and her mom. Gwyn helped Gramps feed the birds and squirrels. Never too early to learn, I think.

It was also a day for me to visit the dentist.
Why is there always a flip-side to everything?

Anyway, here are a few nice pics of the day...(none of me in the dentist chair :-b)

Is this a cherry blossom tree?

Soon this tree will be gorgeous with blossoms.

I favor the white lilacs.

See how close the Chickadee's nest is to our front door. She hops from my hanging basket of white geraniums to her little perch on the wooden cat. It's nice and deep in there for her nest.

Silly bird, though, to nest so close to the busy front door. We have already been scolded for standing on our porch and when the dog came out she darn near had a fit. Geesh!
