    Hi, the plants look great. I had to look up persimmons. I didn't know them under this name. I know them as kaki or sharon fruit.
    I like it a lot. They are a bit expensive here, because they have to be imported.
    Have a fantastic day !!

April Blooms

This amaryllis flower is one my favorite things in the garden. We were carefully watching it and waiting for it to bloom. It smells so good.   It was my birthday on April 20th and Suresh got me these tulips. I was very happy because they reminded me of when we were in Holland in 2017 for the tulip festival.   We have a rose bush with lots of pink roses and this is one of them.  Yellow and white iris came too.

Daffodils came early!

We have been enjoying the great weather the last few days. Sushma and I relaxed on the deck in the afternoons, where she practiced reading Telugu. The weather is so nice, some of the flowers think it is already Spring! But, it is going to freeze this weekend, so we brought in a lot of the daffodil buds.  Sometimes it's funny when Sushma struggles to read Telugu. All our daffodil buds! So excited for them to bloom. Our Chinese Fringe Flower tree is also blooming and is very beautiful. I bought it a long time ago at Lowe's on sale.  Chinese Fringe Flower Chinese Fringe Flower tree This week we also made a trip to get some free donuts from Heavenly Donut Company! Sushma had a coupon for a half dozen donuts - it was so hard to decide which ones to get. I love donuts, and I love them even more when they are free! I used to be scared to eat things like donuts, but now I realize life is short so I should enjoy. So happy about donuts!

Snow Day!!!

We had a snow day today! The last time we got snow was 2014, which was a disaster. Suresh got stuck at work overnight! This time, we all stayed home, and we enjoyed together. Even Sushma and her husband, Sal, stayed with us! It was pretty cold, but we still went outside for a little bit. Beautiful icicles on the gazebo! I really enjoyed knocking the icicles down! Sushma made me some ice antlers! But, they were too cold to keep for long. Some big ones from the gazebo roof! We also did some cooking today - we made dal curry with some greens from the backyard. And, we baked pecan bars , which turned out good. Cooking with snow in the background Our dahl curry Vegan pecan bars! I hope everyone stays safe and warm!
