Welcome to my world!
What you'll see here is life ... Someones real life!
Maybe mine. Maybe yours.
But always...

Day 98...Peonies
Day 98
Some say "pee-oh-knees and some say "pee-uh-knees"
Me, I say "pee-oh-knees"
Either way, they're so pretty, but short lived.
Something this pretty should last longer!! They smell wonderful! You have to bring them in to really enjoy that! Just shake them off good outside and give them a quick cool rinse to get rid of the ants!!! Although, they wouldn't bloom without the ants! I didn't know that for a long time!
Like many other plants, they're flowering nearly a month earlier than usual. I've even heard them referred to as "Decoration Day" flowers because they're usually blooming right about Memorial Day.
Day 97...Work :)
Day 97
Creating beauty...:)
My home away from home...some of my work family!
This one's kind of a "Where's Waldo/Gayle"
I see me!
Day 96...Brilliant Barberry
Day 96
Barberry's can be a booger when it comes time to prune. It has thorns and they do hurt!!! But I love how pretty it looks when the sun is shining through the red tips of the shrub. It really is beautiful! And...It actually looks prettier when I don't prune for a season!
Day 95...Beautiful Spiderwort
Day 95
My first little flower to bloom on the Spiderwort!
Sometimes, they just have really odd names, don't they?
What a pretty flower with such an ugly name!
FYI, if you're into planting what's native to our region,
this is one to plant!!
