You know spring has arrived...

when the yellow house neighbors are flush with new foliage. All the wonderful lilies and greenery are filling out nicely. Even the vines climbing the porch railing are showing life again. The porch furniture is back out and the potted plants have emerged and are along the porch edges and up the stairs. Very nice and wonderful.

There was a little period there though that I forgot about - the time when you open the windows but the leaves are still buds - no insulation between you and the neighbors. But now the leaves are full providing the appearance of camouflage.

For the new tenants, I think they're a gay couple. I forget how I came to this conclusion as I hardly ever see anyone, but think I must have seen two guys together once. They're tall and lanky - New England style. They seem nice, but then again I haven't really seen much of them. But summer is just around the corner so you never know.
