Della dogwood blooms

I thought there was a song about poppies. If you are feeling romantic, check out: http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/w/whenthepoppiesbloomagain.shtml.

But the big news is that the Della dogwood, named in honor of Dorcas's mother, planted after her passing, is in flower for the first time. My links not working, so here's a song about dogwoods: http://freelyricshut.com/tag/dogwood-bloom.

"Field trip" took on a new meaning when the fire/rescue truck arrived for a demo. The field in this case was just across the lane from the school. Head attire required for both settings. And, see the team of Belgiums, top right?

I'm not late. My blog server failed. Here's the end of April stuff.
