Spring has Sprung

      Mother's Day, May 8, and the earliest Spring flowers have just started to bloom.  It has been a very cold, late spring.  We had snow on April 30th.

     As you can see,  the grass needs mowing, already :-)
   The iris and peony, in the background, are coming along nicely also.

       The plan is to have a long season of color in the front yard.  The tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths are the first to appear.  (The hyacinths froze this year, just as they were starting to bloom.)

     Then, as the early blooms fade, the iris, on the other side of the walk, are in bloom.  As the iris start to fade, the peony is in full bloom.

     When the tulips are completely done, I will overplant with annuals.  This year, I think I will use snapdragon and alyssum.  Last year, we had had roses there.  The year before is was four o'clocks.

     This little guy stopped by for a quick breakfast.
