The crabapple tree in the front yard. The one time out of the year that the tree looks nice. The lilac bush in the back yard. We've had such a lovely cool spring that the lilacs have actually been in bloom for about a month! Yummmm - cupcake recipes! Thanks Auntie Anne! Ooooh and a beautiful apron! Here's Thea making one of the cupcake recipes! Notice how the cupcake cups are arranged. And here are the finished cupcakes. They were delicious! And here a couple of pictures of my friend Steve's amazing garden. I took these photos today (May 29). These are tree peonies!! Aren't they amazing. I've uploaded more photos of Steve's amazing garden on Flickr.
