Welcome to the yard on the left. A place to contemplate, relax, and rant on the right.

Finally, an end to Winter

The snow piles are all gone, the yard is raked, and at last, some color is springing up in the LipsYard. These little Crocuses (Crocus bulg)are adorable.

The Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana,) still with a few of last year's brown leaves clinging on for dear life...
is alive with yellow blooms.

And look what else has sprung up in America; Pope Benedict XVI in his Alitalia jet, "Shepherd One," at Andrews Air Force Base! He was warmly welcomed by our Evangelical President at the airport (bet they didn't have to wait for luggage.) I'm sure the GOP is just salivating at the thought of a communion table confrontation between His Holiness and Democratic lawmakers who support a woman's right to choose. In the past, Pope Benedict has supported witholding the Eucharist from pro-abortion legislators. I'm sure the right wing talkers will be first in line with stones in their hands.
