I have Irises! A whole bed of them in fact! A promise that there may be a spring yet!
I can’t wait to see what else pops up my my new yard!

Are We Sure it’s Spring?
The calendar says it’s spring. The weatherman keeps saying it’s spring. There are robins and turkey buzzards everywhere… so why did I freeze my butt off setting up the garden center today?
I don’t think it made it over 23 degrees today- and let’s not even mention the windchill! And to think this time last year it was 80 degrees!
Okay Mother Nature, we get it. You are a master prankster. The best of the best! Now can we Please have our usual Spring?
While we are waiting, here’s a pretty Peony blossom from my old garden, in Warm Weather…

My Yard was invaded this evening…
I think they were scoping out my future flower beds

| Convallaria majalis |
Lily of the Valley,
A wonderful ground cover for shady places. Sweet smelling flowers in early spring that turn into poisonous red berries. Plant this invasive little beauty where you can keep it under control and out of the way of curious children and pets.

Oh Warmth, Where Did You Go?
From warm summer-like days for almost the entire month of March….
Back to 40 degrees and cold winds in April.
Mother Nature, I don’t mean to complain,
but isn’t this supposed to be the other way around?
Thursday’s Things in a Row
It’s Springtime in the Garden so I thought some fresh Sumac leaves would fit the bill nicely!
Be sure to visit Pat! She’s got some great news!
