Look what's popping up!
We were so inspired we went to Big Lots and bought chairs and a little table for the grape arbor,
and for the patio. Sergene and I sat out for half an hour watching Hero play in the snow and were almost too warm. We also bought an umbrella for the patio table. The patio set matches the one on the deck but is a little smaller.
Come visit us and have tea (or lemonade) out of doors.
D'you like my new colors, by the way? It's a bit bright, I suppose, but will do for now. And the width of the blog is variable, so you can see it wider, which for me makes it easier to read.
Tulips and chives in the vegetable garden (above). Amy laid the concrete pavers in the footpath from the rose arbor to the swing under the lilac bush. The grape hyacinths bloomed out all in a day (below):
Daffodils! We have more in front.
The forsythia and peaches in the swing garden are in bloom. I think I'm going to have to plant things that like part shade there. We have a very sunny yard--although we did plant a new maple tree, two gingko trees, and a peach tree this spring--but most of the places where I could plant flowers are in part shade.
Jamison has been a great help cleaning up the roses and working on miscellaneous other garden chores.
