Cool temps and occasional rains means the garden work can continue. Ordered a blue spruce for the front corner of the house that is slow growing to 10 foot by 4 foot in diameter. And a Royal Raindrops crab with delightful purple leaves and pink flowers for the corner of the front lawn. It will be about 15 feet high and the same in diameter at maturity. The fruits are small and stay on the tree for the birds. May your projects bring you joy this week! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!

Raining! Glad for the moisture, but creates a change of plans. I finished filling pots with blooms yesterday, but rearranging the flower beds will have to wait. And that's not a bad thing.

Working in the garden this week. Love being out in the sunshine and warmth, rearranging and adding plantings. We had Canadian wildfire smoke block out the sun one day and the air quality made it impossible to be outside for the next couple days. And we are at the far edge of the third large state away from Canada! A reminder of the interconnectedness of all things. May you have clean air to breathe everyday this week!

I've only been doing this Linky Party for 11 years. Ya'd think I'd could do everything in my sleep. Apparently I did!!!! Because it was a rookie mistake and totally my bad that the link did not show up at the scheduled time on Sunday! I apologize----again. Thanks for understanding. . . . . . . I haven't been able to do spring chores for a couple of years and I am loving this mild sunshine and being able to get outside. The plants are quivering in their boots/roots though as nearly all are getting a new home. Hostas were divided and moved to a new shady spot. Raised garden beds are losing dirt to the expanded front lawn and will retire. Arborvitae, split in a wild windstorm, are united again with strips of green cloth, restoring their stateliness. Today I tackle the Russian ... [Read More]

Apparently the host and Wordpress were in conflict over who was going to let me click the post button Sunday and it took quite sometime for Bytes to sort things out. But all is good now! Thanks for stopping by and sorry for the inconvenience. ---------------------------------------------------------------- "You picked the wrong color" said a voice as I held up a hanging basket in the home center nursery. My sister, Bee, had come in on the same errand. We ended up touring two other new-to-me nurseries and I brought home "somewhat" more than two dozen plants - including the "wrong" color. I have already planted half and will pot the others this afternoon. Local weatherman promised we had seen the last of the frost. Hoping he is right! May we all have good weather this week! ...

My sister Vee and husband came to visit bearing a chain saw and with an empty truck and trailer. And then Bee and husband showed up. They sawed, Bytes pulled and down came the overgrown evergreen tree at the corner of the house. Out came the odd shrub that stood at the end of the curved walkway like a huge green prickly pimple. Things look a little rough out there now -- but oh! the potential! May you find potential in unexpected things this week! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!
