Early May Beauties

It has been a cold, wet Spring, but things seem to be changing this week in the weather department.  The sun has been shining and the rains have stayed away.  This is a good thing for those of us who are working in the greenhouse.  Hopefully this week the orders will start pouring in and the flowers will be shipped out!

Tuesdays are my LBS and piano lesson day, so I wasn't at the greenhouse today.  I had some time to catch up on a little laundry, (even hung some outside.....mostly 'cause my dryer is just about dead), and I even spent some time cleaning up the garden.

Tulips are finally showing off their stuff, the buds on the lilac are growing, and the burning bush is greening up.  The hostas are peeking and stretching and some of the early blooming perennials are in their glory stage.

So, here are a few pics of the beauties in my now weed-free garden, as well as a couple of my feathered friends, and one interesting shot of Levi showing off his talents on the sax.  Yes, that is him with the wig, and hat, playing a couple songs during the talent portion of our Kid's Club Parent Night. (His interesting get-up was for the skit that followed.)  He did a great job on his little solo pieces, and I think he loved the sound of the saxophone in the church.  Nothing like playing an instrument in there.......the acoustics are much nicer in church than in our basement!

Enjoy!
