It took me a second day to finish putting them all on their stakes, rearranging a few, deciding where they all are supposed to go. There are a few changes from last year. Some are not quite as I would wish, but pushing the rebar stakes into the root filled ground can be tricky, so nature sometimes picked the spot.
Walking around the garden the next day, taking photos, my eye was caught be a few other blooms too. Enjoy the tour.
It will be a while before the roses bloom in the rose bed. Bulbs are finishing their show.
As I sit here in the home office, across the hall Jose is finishing up the water damage restoration work that has been ongoing this past month. Painting was done yesterday and the carpet pad and reinstallation of part of the carpet is now done. Vacuuming is getting done. The result looks great. Moving furniture back in can wait. The insurance money is in our account ready for the final payment.
Tom has gone to get a borrowed pick up truck. We have several loads of yard debris to haul to the yard waste dump. We both worked hard yesterday to finish up the pruning and cleaning. I have a little bit more "yard art" to place in the garden. Costco and Safeway shopping will be done either later today or tomorrow.
Mother's Day dinner will be here. We will eat ribs and rhubarb cake and share the beauty of nature, our garden, and our family love.
The Wisteria is so very pretty! Your glass flowers are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't notices that your yard art was ln rebar. That's a sturdy way of keeping things put. Your garden looks like it's close to the summer peak.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful garden with a charming secret sitting spot and the wisteria!!! Love your glass flowers. They are an inspiration for me to make flower pot picks on a much smaller scale with ceramic clay. I paint the petals and stamens, and fire them twice , insert bamboo skewers in poke them into select potted plants so it looks like blossoms in the pot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, incredible, and amazing gardens. I love the wisteria especially but the glass flowers are such a wonderful addition.
ReplyDeleteHappy early Mother's Day!
All so beautiful! Linda in Kansas
