After what has gone on record as being
the coldest April ever in Seattle....
(click photos to enlarge)
It is a relief to welcome in May....
(Rainer Cherry Tree)
and a beautiful day of blue skies...
I spent the day trying to catch up,
in the garden...
I brought along my camera to share a bit
with you...
this is another part of the little trail in the back garden.
it makes a V right after the bench
and cuts back to the right...
I showed you photos of that trail covered in English Daisies
last week....
This path is moss on one side and Violets on the other,
though the Violets spread onto the other side...
that is the joy of a casual cottage garden,
a lack of control
can create it's own beauty...
The rabbit wanted to play dress up...
a wreath of Bridal Spirea in her hare (:-)...
a snapped a couple pond side...
(that is the hose running in the background, oops)
a patch of tiny tulips...
The Bluebells
excerpt
O, that lone flower recalled to me
My happy childhood's hours
When bluebells seemed like fairy gifts
A prize among the flowers,
Those sunny days of merriment
When heart and soul were free,
And when I dwelt with kindred hearts
That loved and cared for me.
Ann Bronte
Oh Happy May!!
Today I am joining...
and
Thanks for joining me in the garden today...
