First Mowing

 Tim, my mower guy, came to clean up the mess from the plowing - gravel from the driveway in the lawn and all the leaves.  He gave the lawn the first mow too.


Nice to see such green grass.

Anticipation

 A walk around my yard helps me anticipate what will be coming soon.

Siberian iris.


White iris from Vicki Lane


Peony, more iris, bleeding heart


Even more iris


Blooms coming soon but I've forgotten what this is.


Tulips in front that daughter planted the fall we bought the house.


Hosta


I need to do some weeding soon since I contracted with my mower guy to do the mulching this year.
