Notes:

All photographs in this letter were taken on April 21, 2025.

Plants featured in order: lilac, forsythia, highbush blueberry, birch, eastern redbud, tatarian maple, dogwood, fortune plum, peach, barberry, cherry, blueberry, house asian pear, liberty apple, and red maple… I think.

This newsletter was inspired by newsletter #85 sent on May 3, 2021. Some feelings are perennial.
