Kitty Lapp daffodils

We've been husbanding them since 2007 when Jennifer moved them from Arlington to our care.  We started with 12 or so and now have about 100. They are always the latest to bloom and wither and fade quickly in hot weather.

Daffodils

Some of the Kitty Lapps are still red rimmed, but many have reverted to a washed-out version.

We have several thousand dotting the woods now but have a long way to go to reach Tupenny Meadows' standard.

Kitty Lapps

Another birthday event for Shannon: the Kitty Lapps that we rescued from Arlington, Va before Lady Terra moved north, and that the Baron lovingly composted and coddled, have bloomed at The Barony.
Although today was very windy (gusts to 35 mph) and 85 degrees, we planted and composted 10 Arbor Day spruce near the Toy Shed to soften that forest edge, and a few DCNR apples. Prince Smiley-face's spruce is at home in the upper meadow line. The middle tree line in the meadow doesn't have as many holes as we thought. We did have to trim some of last year's cicada damage off, but most of the trees (apple, hawthorn, walnut, dogwood) made it through last year's winter.
We gave Gambol his Saturday morning rawhide to keep him busy until 0800. This one is the size Chicago Baron likes. Gambol hardly knows what to do with it; he can hardly get his mouth around it. Success!

Found!

One golden goldfinch. This one is almost all yellow while the rest of the flock have only a yellow feather or two. The pine siskins are still here.
Daffs are poking through also, even the Kitty Lapps, which are late bloomers.
