Spring?

After a week of rain and sun and heat and cold--and tornadoes!--today is more like March with pollen.  It's very windy and chilly.  I can't even be outside due to allergies.  But the garden is enticing and at least I could take some photos.

The Bleeding Heart looks better this year.

I thought I may have lost it to drought in the past two years,

but it looks like it has revived.

The pink Azaleas, the blue bloom of Ajuga and the white of Sweet Woodruff

perk up the garden after the daffodils and tulips are spent.

I laid out the fairy garden, but the girls will be 

redecorating  it throughout the summer.

The Irish Moss did not come back, 

but I planted some Foxtail Fern recently.

My newest addition is a succulent garden in an old planter.

That's Papyrus in the center.

I can't wait to see what it does in August

when the Azalea, Ajuga and Sweet Woodruff blooms are gone.
