A Day in Spring--Finally!

Just made a tour of the garden. The gnats are bad but don't bite!  Things are growing and blooming right on schedule despite the weather.

I was going to read but this view drew me outside.  

The Knock Out roses are budding, 

the Lily of the Valley are starting to bloom.  

The fern and the Lady's Mantle are up.  

The hosta is huge already.

Recognize it, Alice?

We made concrete stepping stones from these leaves long ago.

I still use them in the girls' fairy garden (see last post for photo).

There's a hedgehog, but he's not real!

Under the window is the "Primrose Path" along the stone  path

A Hosta, a fern and Creeping Jenny keep the shady corner bright.

The Weigela is ready to burst.

Finally!  Real Spring!

Now, back to my book.
