We went to Wilmington and Carolina Beach for a few days this weekend, and on one of the days we visited Greenfield Lake in Wilmington. As usual, there was an abundance of wildlife on the shores around the lake, including a mother duck and her flock of adorable ducklings.

We have a row of beautiful tulips in front of our house that sprouts up around this time of the year. I love the way they look right after I water them, leaving droplets on the petals.

Who knew green onions can have flowers? We certainly didn’t and were surprised to see the green onions that we had been growing in the yard since last summer grow bulbs last week. One of those bulbs opened today.
