Home landscape: images from May 2019

Arriving at our home in Le Bic on 3 May it looked and felt like winter with cool temperatures and the vegetation largely still winter dormant. Scattered patches of snow, the brown lawn, and leafless trees added to the winter feel. Mornings were cold enough to crank up the wood stove to warm the living room.
I set about going to work on the landscape - cleaning up, preparing new beds, and adding plants to the landscape. I did not attempt to systematically document the changes in vegetation in our home landscape or beyond but instead present selected photos of our landscape in the month of May.
