May - around the Old Ranch House

Lilacs.  Encroaching pests that they may be, I love their exuberant bloom.  Right now.  All along the lake side of the house.  On this warm sunny afternoon, I am playing my harp by the open "bath door" and the lilac scents up the whole house.  I like it!

Lilacs purple along the ravine top ...

… white-and-purple by the fire-hose cupboard

Candy's flowering crab-apple in its moment of pink glory, and we were here to see!

Not so many thimbleberry flowers here by the creek … got a little scorched in our April burn!

Watercress in the creek is flourishing (Koko wonders who put it there and when?)

And in front of the old ranch house, the young rowan tree is in full bloom - white flowers now, orange berries later.
