Thanks guys! I think the gnarly tree you are talking about is actually the weeping willow which is on the side of our house more in the front yard. It is such a beautiful tree, I have always wanted a weeping willow sonce I was a little girl so it makes me very happy Here is a picture of it last fall.
I was so excited to see the peonies! They are definitly a favorite. I do not know what those purple flowers are - they seem like they are in the poppy family - they are so pretty - im trying to figure out what they are - perhaps someone will see this and be able to help. There are hyacinth and grape hyacinth and some small purple flowers that are a sort of ground cover and then there are those poppy type that I took a close up of.
I will take more pictures soon - I need to show you the wisteria!
So sorry about the snow Susantherese - I hope that seeing these pictures will help you see that spring is heading your way. Hang in there, I feel for you big time! I am from Maine and I miss being at the beach, and I miss family and friends, but I do not miss living there what so ever - and that is purely because winter is so darn long!
