It is lovely to see your spring flowers, although I guess by now your garden has made a big leap forward in the weeks since these photos were taken – things happens so quickly at this time of year! I loved your freckled violets too, will look for them here. Your robin is a totally different bird to our robin – and to make matters even more confusing, there is also an Australian robin – which is different from the European and the American :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-18639983658685981482016-05-06T17:21:49.278-04:002016-05-06T17:21:49.278-04:00Pam you are way ahead of me....everything looks fa...Pam you are way ahead of me....everything looks fabulous. Our pond was opened in early April and had to be closed due to the snow and freezing weather. We did open it again a couple of weeks later.

American robins look bigger than the bird we call a robin.

Spring came early, and we got a lot of cleanup done ahead of time this year. Now I'm just waiting for our frost free date.

We have a Water Lily, and I don't want to add too many because the pond only measures about four feet by three feet. It seems to attract birds an butterflies, though.

Some people find them troublesome; others find them attractive. I love them. I don't believe in perfect lawns -- they require too much maintenance -- mine is full of weeds which we just mow. As you agree they are adorable, I would live with the wild violets, Erin. All you may need to do is improve the health of your lawn so the grass can better compete.

I did some reading, and they were saying that they are really invasive no tough to get rid of. They are so adorable, I don't want to get rid of them if it isn't true for this type. Can you shed any light on this for me?<br />ErinErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.com
