I go to the garden.
All this stuff with transitional/no transitional, constant worry, busy schedules, dramatic 9 year olds.....
I go outside to relax. I spent time in the garden this afternoon pulling weeds, checking on the flowers, seeing what has gotten taller the last couple of days.
It does make it easier to think - outside on a beautiful day, lost in thought, soaking up some vitamin D. And when I come back in, I find it easier to deal with the crazy.
Before I came in, I took pictures of the next round of flowers that are appearing in my yard.
Enjoy!
Creeping Thyme:
Pretty purple lavendar flower:
My first peony is starting to open - I can't wait to see it!
Hens and Chicks:
Hens and Chicks:
Impatiens. Yes these are annuals, but they are about the only thing that will grow under the pine trees:
Cute boy in the yard. He is checking out the sprinkler:
Another iris has opened. This one is purple and white! Love it:
Impatiens:
This is a huge group of Jack in the Puplit that appears all together:
Geranium (perennial):
This is a sedum that is supposed to spread and have a red flower. This is what has come up so far. I have a bunch of little clumps - I will be anxious to see what it does.
My first knock out rose is about to make its appearance!!
Sage:
Chives:
Mint:
Chives again:
I still have a few rhododendron that are still in the yard. Won't be long until they are GONE:
Not a flower, but I love this hosta. It looks fake with its shiny leaves and white outline. I have about 15 of them in a shady spot in my yard.
Flower on my strawberry plant.
Looky looky!! A little strawberry is making an appearance:
My giant amount of Lambs ear. I love this - it is very, very soft, and later this summer it will get a purple flower which is very pretty. I found it all over the crazy yard, and put it all together. It spreads, so I am hoping it fills in:
Tree in my yard that is just now getting some flowers. It is a pretty tree:
My first day lily of the year:
