Enjoying Easter

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter! It was such a beautiful day here!

Spring has arrived here, and there is a lot blooming and more to bloom soon! I spent Easter at The Dirt Queen's (my mom) house. I took some photos of her garden, as well as mine.

I have been busy taking lots of pictures! I have been at the neighbor's house getting plenty of pictures of their blooms! I will share those tomorrow. Have a great night!

What's Going On

There is a little bit going on in the garden...

New growth on the hydrangeas, and some of the daffodils popping up

Kiki being lazy as usual...watching what goes on in the garden.

New growth on the roses

Glad to see the cold didn't hurt them to much.

The walking iris however didn't fare so well. Maybe it will pull through.

Woodland phlox

I love the see the foliage change colors on the Nandina.

Hydrangea

Butterfly Bush

I filled up the bird feeders. Hopefully I can get some good bird photos soon!

Hydrangea

I found this on the hydrangea...apparently the wasps made themselves at home!

Hydrangea

Clematis

Not much gong on in the garden. I desperately need to weed! Whew! That will take a whole day. I really need to cut back the dead plants as well. Hopefully I can get around to that soon. I only have 2 more weekend left of hunting season, so that is where I will be! Come February it is time to get down to business, and get in the dirt!
