Wow. Is the weather weird this spring or what? Here in Okieland, it’s been c-o-l-d! Wear-a-jacket cold. You know?
And usually by this time, it’s warm. Not this year. 😦
But yesterday was gorgeous.
I’ve had a chance to clean out the gardens, but that’s all. Mostly. Usually, by this time of year I’ve had a chance to go to the garden center and make my deck look like this. Not this year, though.
Too much cold weather, rain and lazy daisy. (If my name was daisy.)
And last year I shared this with you.
Looks sweet, doesn’t he? I told you his tale here.
He was a wolf in bunny’s clothing. After I rescued him, he came back and ate my plants. Not. Nice.
And last year I shared some wild flowers with you.
This year, there haven’t been as many. It’s either too cold for them to grow or too wet for me to get out and find them. I’m not too sure which. 😉
I did see a handful of these in a ditch yesterday on the way home from work. (I think they’re Indian Paintbrush, but I can’t promise.)
My hydrangea aren’t blooming yet, but at least they have leaves.
This if from last March, the day of Baby Boy’s wedding. That’s G-Man in the background. Hard to believe the redbud was blooming in March, isn’t it? They’re just now in full glory this year. (Right, no current pictures. Just this repic.)
Just for fun, I wanted to share again the Unity Candle that Baby Boy and DIL#3 didn’t have in their wedding. Instead, they planted this Japanese Maple together.
Is that cool or what?
So, that’s spring so far–not much. I’m just hoping we don’t go straight to full-blown 100°+ weather.
I’m kinda busy the next couple of weekends (one’s a shower for a niece. Grins!) so I don’t see much gardening happening. Oh, well. :} There’s always June. Right?
So . . . how’s your garden this year? In the ground? Tomatoes towering? Beans blooming? Squash squishing?
Gonna share?
