Lady Z is still giving me an abundance of lovely blooms. I love bringing them in, and filling my room with their wild rose fragrance!

Peonies are starting to come out now! I have always loved the color of this one. I have no idea of the variety, or even where I got it!

The garden seems to be on steroids this year!! Everything is a good two weeks ahead of schedule. Looking back over last years pictures, I see that the iris were blooming mostly near the middle of May. As of today, (4-28) three are out and lots more have buds showing color. I love it when the garden is riot of color!

My two new daylilies arrived today! Tequila and lime, and Voodoo Dancer.
Already in the ground.
I hope they are as colorful as pictured!

Slowly but surely, the garden springs to life!

What could be more heartwarming than seeing those first flowers and shrubs spring bravely into bloom, despite all the constant weather changes that take place due to the whims of Mother Nature!

I guess I really should change pictures and update this site in general, but I love it just like it is, so maybe not!

Sighhhhhh where to begin! So many new things in the garden today. Three colors of anemone blanda are out. (I have never been able to get anything but the purple to bloom) Only three tiny flowers, so not really camera worthy, but very promising!
Thirty clumps of daffodil “Tete-a-Tete” from the three 50 cent pots of stems I bought ten years ago. (Money well-spent

Crocus galore!!

A tiny frog hopped into the pond as I walked by. Hopefully all his friends will join him soon.

First seed order arrived yesterday! Let the planting begin!!

Trying two new tomatoes this year in addition to my usuals.-Big Beef Hybrid, a large red tomato, and Chef’s Choice Yellow, both offerings from Park’s Seed. I can almost taste that crisp, juicy first slice now!

Helebores are always the first to make a spring appearance! I never could remember the name, until one day my dear departed friend Sarah said to me, “You just don’t wanna say ‘Hell’ !” (She knew I hated salty language of any kind). I never forgot the name after that!

I really like the special effect of the filter I used on this photo.

I hope to find more time to work with graphics some time in the near future.
