Today’s bouquet was made from irises, snowball bush blossoms and pink columbine. It didn’t turn out quite the way I wanted it to, but how can you go wrong with such beautiful irises? 🙂 ~~Rhonda

i wish spring lasted longer
May 2, 2009 – 11:52 am
If you’ve read previous posts, you know spring is my favorite time of year in the garden. It’s lush and colorful and full of “new” everywhere you look. Here are some pictures from our spring garden. The fenced garden sits just north of the mulch pile. In the second picture, you can see our mountain […]
spring rain
April 30, 2009 – 5:51 pm
The weather has been rainy today, but it’s a slow, off and on, gentle, spring rain. Looking out the kitchen door into the back yard, things look wet, but fresh and new. Every time I walk into the kitchen, I am amazed by all the green visible through the windows. There are four windows over […]
wednesday in the yard

We spent a lot of time in the yard yesterday. DH did have some work related things to take care of, but we still had a lot of time for the garden. The weather was beautiful. Grass was a bit wet from rain the day before and during the night, but I was able to […]
hosta leaves and rain drops

‘June’ is my favorite hosta. The leaves are beautifully streaked and stay pretty all summer long. Hosta ‘Moonlight Sonata’ I didn’t venture into the grass, with the rain we’ve been having, but the tall bearded irises are beginning to bloom. I hope I can get some pictures of them tomorrow. ~~Rhonda
spring bouquet

We try to take a bouquet to church each Sunday when we have flowers available in the yard. Here is the one from last Sunday. The white sprays are bridal wreath spirea. It has purple and yellow irises, the last of the Poet’s daffodils, and some lilac blossoms. It smelled so good! ~~Rhonda

sweet spring
April 25, 2009 – 9:00 pm
I did manage to go outside today. Am finally feeling like I’m on the mend, though still do not feel “good.” But being outside for a while improved my state of mind, if nothing else. The Spanish bluebells were in the yard when we bought this house in 1994. There are a lot of columbine […]
