The azaleas have really come out, even compared to what they were when we planted them a week ago! I thought I'd share some of my color for those of you still stuck with white.

This is what it looked like last week just after we finished planting.

And here it is this afternoon! (This time I got good light)
The four bushes:

You can barely see it in this shot, but in the foreground in front of the pansies are some green shoots that are my fresia showing their heads.

Some of the pansies (that survived the cold week none the worse for wear)

And gotta throw in a couple of kitty shots! That's Skye in the window.

What a fabulous shade of pink!
