Lake Bluff in the Springtime Part 1

It's well into April, and people and plants around Lake Bluff are waking up.

Thin coverings of Siberian squill (a type of scilla) are popping up in everyone's yards, including mine. Ours are very purple, in contrast to other locations where they are bluer.

Siberian squill is invasive, but it is deer resistant and requires no maintenance so I'm just leaving it as-is. These flowers will disappear when spring does.

Everyone seems to be out and about, especially those with dogs. Here is the handsomest pair I've seen.
