The lupin are beginning to bloom. I can’t believe how big they got. Looks like the iris are going to bloom this year too — surprise considering the hacking I did to them!

The bed under the front window is being fantastic! The hostas are a recent addition from Mom. Aphids gave the lupin a ravaging but I think they are gone. Gets better every day!

With the hyacinth and tulips done, I moved the calendula around and moved some asters.

Columbine have always been one of my favorite flowers. There was a meadow in Colorado, where if you hit it at the exact right time was a blanket of blue columbine — so wonderful! This white one has been a real treat this year.

I was hoping to rip the satellite pole out but it was too expensive. So I made lemonade out of it. Should be a good spot for cooler veggies. Found that bench for free on the side of the road!
