Thom planted this little maple up in our front yard from
where it was lost behind my big rock and was
crowding out my rosebush...
It should add some lovely color looking out from our tv room...
Oh and see that big green thing--our water company is re-doing all the piping system
in our area and they store their stuff on our cul- de-sac until their work is done....
[some view huh??]
************************************
My white iris peeked out this morning and I can see my purple ones are
just about ready to come out...
and you can just see the edge of my
low growing azalea's pink blooms...
here is the full bush⇊⇊⇊⇊
such a pretty soft pink...
This deep black/purple iris stands as a lonely sentinel in our front rock
garden in front of our patio seating area just by our front doorway....
Still wrapped up tightly.....
and lastly:
My one peony bush, transplanted from our old house,
waves its tightly closed buds in the chilly winds
by our big rock.
This whole area has a lot of ledges,
some underground and some
that have thrust up to the surface
like this one...
For some reason I love rocks...
They do make a lovely backdrop for my daffodils in the early Spring and
the peony and my wild rose bush in the Summertime...

Unfortunately we are overrun with poison ivy and poison oak in this area....
Thom has just gotten over a really bad case--so we are a bit hesitant to
go digging around too much...not to mention our "backs" which now
complain a lot...
Since we've moved here (gosh now has it been 11 years? ;0000)
I haven't done a whole lot of planting or gardening...I want to add some
containers to house annuals this year...
If the garden centers ever open up).
I saved marigold seeds from last year's
crop and am going to plant two containers of them this week...
and some culinary herbs ----back permitting...
I hope you had a sunny day and were able to get outside....
gardening is so good for the soul....
