We have been enjoying the daylily blooms for the past month or so. This week they are at peak bloom. We have more than 400 varieties in the garden. It is a sea of color. ‘Chicago Blackout’ ‘Egyptian Ibis’ ‘South Seas’ ‘Allen Wild’ ‘Picture Pretty’ FYI, for those in the local area, we are planning […]
Yesterday DH went out into the yard armed with my camera and took some pictures of spring. It’s really here. Thank you, God, for springtime. For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove […]
…with daffodils coming up behind them… The Crocuses They heard the South wind sighing A murmur of the rain; And they knew that Earth was longing To see them all again.

Last Sunday, DH and I took an afternoon drive through the country. The first time I’ve been outside in a little while. I love the change fall brings to the woods, the leaves, the roadside grasses and plants, even the smell of the air. The trees at the country cemetery were beautiful. Hickories and oaks. […]

I used ‘Kwanso’ daylilies, ‘Becky’ daisies, and purple coneflowers to make today’s bouquet. The cats are always intrigued by the fresh foliage on Sunday mornings. Amy couldn’t resist an inspection. […]
Here are some photos from the past few months. May 24 ~ my birthday. David and his family were here and we enjoyed a great grilled meal. During the course of clearing the table before dessert, Snow White ran into a plate held by Rose Red and had her own little medical emergency. Pa grabbed […]
The peonies are in full bloom, a bit later this spring than usual. They smell heavenly. I hope you have peonies in your garden. ~~Rhonda
I haven’t been able to get out much this spring, but managed to today. The irises and peonies are beautiful right now. And the hostas…well, some survived last summer’s drought and are looking great…some didn’t make it. We need to do an inventory to figure out how much and what we lost. I really love […]
