I'm good enough to be doing duck duty again and finding four blue surprises every morning.
Bob spoiled the girls a bit while I was out of commission. They crowd into the shed as I get their dinner pellets, surrounding me and loudly demanding a handful then and there. They do rule the yard.
Really, this is a BIG peony! That's my hand supporting it.
Wowed by this. Unique Marmalade with brilliant green new growth.
A new iris blooming.
I've discovered cistus grows fabulously in my dry, sandy soil so I'm planting lots of them. Hot pink, pink with crimson spots, white. They are happy in the far corners of our property and liven up the bleak areas with color in the hottest weather.
