Around The Yard
It's that time of year again! Each morning I enjoy a quick peruse around the gardens to see which seeds have sprouted, what flowers are blooming. My Niko beast used to do this with me, so I couldn't help but miss him this morning.♥ The wisteria is blooming beautifully! I had no idea how fragrant the blooms would be, but they are.
The Azalea is blooming. I love it's fiery orange.♥
The lilac tree smells SO good! Some of them made their way onto our table. Do any of you have any tips to make them last longer in a vase? Two days tops is usually what I get out of them. I suppose the best thing to do is keep them on the tree and just go smell them daily.
This morning I found some cucumbers that sprouted. ♥
Look who stepped in and decided to roam with me! Smudge can be my new garden cat.♥
The veggie garden was finished yesterday in the glorious sunshine. I am so grateful for this garden. If it produces NOTHING, at least it brings me joy to water and weed it every summer.
A Mother's Day photo. Our style!♥ Happy Tuesday!♥♥♥
Now playing at Henle House, Red Red Wine by UB40. ☼
Before you put the lilacs in a vase, use your clippers to make a cut upwards through the stem...it helps the water to go up through the branch. Hope that helps! :)
