No April Showers — Just lots of flowers

The weather continues to be awesome. Spent a lot of time clearing out dead winter stuff, weeding and enjoying all of the lovely things happening in the yard.

Herb bed2

Other view of the herb bed — So pleased the snap dragon came back (a few didn’t, and I was sad.)

azaleas

neighbor’s azelea hanging over the fence. They took a tree down last year and this thing took off this year. So lovely (and I don’t usually really like azaleas.)

Geum — So happy!

Replanted retaining wall bed

Replanted retaining wall bed — came up with a real game plan for it after just spreading wildflower seeds the last few years. Everything but the primroses are from either Mom or other parts of the yard, so I didn’t spend any money
