This afternoon, I took a walk around the yard to cut some iris that had fallen in the rain. We’ve had more than 3″ of rain since Wednesday, with more coming Sunday to Wednesday. DH stopped by on his lunch hour and we walked around the front yard to see the newly opened irises. But I began at the back door…
At the back door, this little garden bed holds a birdbath and a dogwood tree.
The dogwood leaves are the most lovely shade of green.
The hostas are looking great this year. This is ‘Samauri’ on the left and ‘Waving Wuffles’ on the right.
The fenced garden is looking nice.
How pretty is this mini geranium amidst the sedum?
At the front porch, the columbine bed is a mass of pale pink.
Zak watched as we went by the front porch.
In the front yard we have several beds full of the iris ‘Immortality,’ which has stood up to all the rain better than some of the other irises have.
Happy followed us all over the yard. She loves DH. I snapped a picture of her near one of the Korean lilacs. They are just starting to bloom this week.

Iris ‘Feminine Fire’

After the walk, on the way back into the house, I snapped this picture of my little pump fountain.
Love the yard this time of year! ~~Rhonda

I love your yard! It’s so beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Your little blog is such a sweet inspiration for me. The only nongardener of my greenthumb siblings, I actually cleared a little area out front and planted some ferns and beautiful purple and yellow flowers- don’t know the names but they look real cheerful. Thanks for sharing your photos and thoughts.
Vickie and Annie, thank you for your kind comments. Annie, I hope your little garden does well. Enjoy! ~~Rhonda 🙂
