I'm so sorry. I can not stop taking pictures of blossoms. I love them so much, all that lacy, pastel yumminess. We have a huge old plum tree that flowers like crazy and then produces about two plums, which the starlings always beat me to. Someone told me that plum trees don't make much fruit after 30 years and this old gal is almost there.
Perrenials are starting to get active. And look! A fly. Not my best photographic moment, but another sign of impending warmth. Actually~ is this a perenial, or a weed? I have no idea.
I told you the lawn needs mowing. I didn't lie, it really, really does. Come on over, I'll let you play with my lawnmower for free. I'll even give you a cooler if you do a good job. But we would have to drink it inside becasue it's raining today and I'm not going out there.
Helebores. They pretty much bloom all year. I like them anyway. I just wish they would look up once in awhile. All that navel gazing must get depressing.
you've all seen this before, but not in the spring. It's the view from my front yard. You may not recognize it because I photoshopped out the power lines. All the ritzy folks in the surrounding area have no power lines. Our street was here when there was nothing else around, hence the lines...
Our yard is fully fenced. And then some. Nothing else is eaten. Could you tell me why and how some deer is breaking in and eating only this?
We brought this anchor chain with us from our old house. People on the west coast love to decorate their yards with anchors and buoys and fake seagulls. Makes us even more west coasty.
Lastly~ another shot of my plum tree. Thanks for coming on my garden tour.I see that it has been a week since my last post. Life is good right now, but so busy. I am doing doing a different job for a bit which has me exhausted by the time I get home and have been on the road a lot on weekends. I've been taking lots of pictures as I go, but never seem to have much to say...

Thanks for the tour! Is that chain to hold your house down in case there's a twister?
tod-no..we don't get twisters here. We are on an earthquake faultline. The chain is to prevent us from sliding into the ocean when the "Big One" hits!!
Your view is much like ours and whenever I take a picture (like of a great sunset over the water) I have to Photoshop out those *darned* powerlines, too. Grrr. Wish they'd just bury those things. Isn't it weird that when you look with your eyes, you don't necessarily see those powerlines. But take a picture and that's ALL you see!
me, too
Well, just know you've been missed. Glad to see your photos and "hear" you! :-D
Yeah, early spring always has our yards looking a little neglected. We got our front yard mowed and weed-whacked last week, but the mower is still waiting patiently in the backyard to be used.
From the street our front yard looks pretty good, but up close the gardens really need a good clean up.
At least you have lots of flowers already as a distraction from the tall grass
no need for words with such lovely photos
