I took a little stroll around the yard yesterday, in the late afternoon. I’d been painting chairs and needed to get outside and away from renovating for a while. I hate missing the perfect weather we’ve been having, so out I went. Here are a few pictures from the yard.
Can dogwood leaves look any more glorious?
Flowers for next spring.
Virginia Creeper is supposed to turn a lovely red in the fall, but ours never has. Still beautiful, even if it’s not red.
There are a lot of volunteer mimosa trees along the edge of the woods.
Here’s a shot I wasn’t looking for. A fly sunning on the other side of the mimosa leaf.
Stunning sumac. How brilliant is that?
My hickory tree…dug it up in the woods at Old Salem Cemetery years ago.
The pin oaks are going to be pretty this year.
In the fenced garden, the sedum is beginning to recede. We can see Baby Bunny again. He was completely covered not so long ago.
The lavender is putting on a flush of blooms. I planted it next to the bench in the fenced garden. Love to smell it while I sit there.
Iris ‘Baby Blessed’ is a good rebloomer. A mini iris, it’s about 12″ tall, with a smallish flower. Smells like spring time.
The sky was so very blue yesterday.
We miss so much when we stay indoors… ~~Rhonda
