Spring has Sprung ... Finally!

 

First up, the bleeding heart has exploded in growth and buds are opening.


Peony is promising to bloom for me for the very first time.  I have two plants that I found here when we moved in.


Lupine seedlings from the seeds I scattered last fall.


One of the many beds that were mulched this weekend.  A task I usually do myself but being one handed these days, limits me for garden tasks at present.


I found this blooming in Hosta bed.  Are they bluebells?


Did I plant them last year or the year before?  Vague memories but I don't think there were blooms last year.

  5. Marcia,
    Thank you for taking the time to share how your new car is working out for you. We are slowly inching toward a decision, and you have given us some things to consider. Thank you for your efforts!
    Your spring flowers are beautiful-they really lift the spirits don’t they?

  6. I love it when flowers start to appear at this time of year. Those are definitely not the bluebells that I know - maybe some kind of blue pulmonaria????

  9. Life is bursting forth. But I always want to sing, “Your bleeding hert will tell on you,” to the tune of “cheating heart.”
