My irises are in full bloom, and they’re making an amazing display on the hill.

Yellow and white irises

The purple irises up by the house aren’t doing bad either. I think I need to dig this bunch up and move them around next spring.

Hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day. I always think of Mother’s Day as the day to really dig in the garden and get everything planted. It’s not going to happen this year. It’s been raining all night and all day.

Here’s a shot of my lilac bush when it was in full bloom a couple days ago, the blooms are starting to fade a little now.

Bunnies In The Garden

img-2028.jpg

This baby bunny was in my garden this morning. He’s trying to hide, he needs to find a better hiding place before the cat finds him. They’re so cute when they’re that size. Too bad they grow up to be rabbits, and consume my garden along the way.

We’ve had a ton of rain today, I wonder if his hole was flooded.

My garden’s in bloom! I love spring blooms. They always bring a big smile to my face. I thought I’d share some daffodils with you.

Turn Your Lights Out For Earth Day

Millions of people around the world are turning out their lights for an hour on March 29th for Earth Day.

After The Ice Storm

trees after ice stormWe’ve been without power for almost 24 hours from an ice storm that came through last night. It’s beautiful reflecting off the trees in the sun this morning, but our trees and yard are not very pretty. It looks like a war zone.

We have some major branches down on some of our oldest trees. Some of our trees are going to be a complete loss. One of my favorites, a lilac bush, appears to be split down the middle.

We’ll be trimming and picking up branches for weeks! Talk about spring clean up!
