Gorgeous Day

It's a small garden but it gives me such joyous moments.

Our stand-alone condos are close together

but the patio feels private surrounded by plants.

This morning the Siberian Iris are resplendent against the greens

of foliage and background trees.

The mountain laurel are just blooming.

All five bushes look great this year.

It may help that we have pulled out of a two=year drought.

Back in the shade under the deck

the Violas are popping up in the gravel

near the fairy garden.

Froggie is loving it today.

Rain is coming in by noon

and will last through most of the week.

Good for rain-deprived plants

wanting to rejuvenate.
