I was out of town visiting Cop Car, HH and the rest of the family for 5 days. I knew the peonies and rhodie would put on their show while i was gone and figured I would miss a lot of it. However,, much to my delight, Thursday morning I walked out to check on things and saw a glorious profusion of blooms. I should get more flower stakes
In the south garden, there were plenty of peonies also, but I'll just show the close up of a white one
The willow looks like it is blooming, but that is just new growth. When in shade, the new leaves start out dappled - and with more shade the more white they are.
The view out the living room window is not too shabby (although I need to pull whatever that is in the middle - LOL)
Later on Thursday afternoon I was headed for the composter and saw one of the resident robins fly off from between the back porch and the chain link fence. I didn't think anything of it until I saw a bit of movement and looked at my garden cart.
This fledgling didn't move while I went to get my phone to take pictures. Then I went and got the handy man to take a look (he has birds himself). After a few minutes he found his wings and flew off barely above ground and slowly to the other side of the chain link fence. He landed and then walked off towards the shade garden and I'm sure the parents found it there.
Thrilled as we were to have you visit us in fly-over country, I am thrilled that you returned to find your yard blooming in profusion. What a cute baby robin!
