Springtime Garden 2012


Spring started early this year, and with the busyness of the season, I finally took some time to capture a few pics from my garden.  Every spring the garden looks a little different...usually a few less tulips blooming due to the critters who eat the bulbs. I also have almost a dozen tulips with the blooms missing...someone has decided to eat the tops right off...either my stinker squirrel frienemies, or the cute fluffy not-so-little cottontails from the hedge across the road.  I've not caught either of them in the act.  Oh well...so it goes...   On the bright side, what has managed to survive is blooming and looks lovely!

Summer Garden 2011

Today we are thanking the Lord for blessing us with some rain...soft gentle rain.
So, I took advantage of the wet foliage and shot some pics.

Friday Fun Before the Storm

We managed to fit in a little fun before the downpour tonight.
The boys hit the court......and I played with the Canon.







Friday the 13th

(This blog post has absolutely nothing to do with Friday the 13th, except for the fact that it is Friday, the 13th of May.)

Just posting a few pics that I took this morning.  I took the day off today......I am home icing my shoulder and taking Advil.  I'm experiencing, once again, the reality that my body is no longer that of a teenager's.  The greenhouse work is catching up to me and my aching shoulder kept me up for the better part of the late night/wee early morning hours.  Hopefully taking a break will be just what this youngish body needs......

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!
