Springtime at Marquette 2022

“The tulip is the loveliest of all flowers. So whoever despised the tulip offends God immeasurably.” — Alexandre Dumas

Spring 2021 in My Garden

“I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.” — Ruth Stout

Blossoms on the redbud and “Bertine”, fragrant sweet Woodruff, bleeding hearts, beautiful white and red trillium, Virginia blue bells and brunnera, bloodroot, hepatic and violets, fiddlehead ferns, lilies of the valley and double columbine, and of course a pretty little beagle — this spring in our garden is especially lovely.
