The weather warmed up a little too quickly, and everything was in full bloom early this May.

The Iris that I transplanted into the North Garden bloomed with huge white blossoms.

I guess they like their new home.

I can’t remember if this is the third or fourth year for the Hosta in the North Garden. This year they came up early, and they are huge.

Please ignore the endless weeds that I haven’t gotten to, and just focus on those giant Hosta leaves.

The Red Lily has sprouted, and we are just waiting for it to bloom.

I wish I could remember the names of these fragrant little blooms in the planter. They smell fantastic, and the tiny birds are just going crazy for them.

I’m really hoping these purple blossoms bring the butterflies and hummingbirds our way.

 

Out front we have a little garden around the flag pole. Agnes has been picking out lots of Petunias to add. It is a bit of an eclectic mix, but that pretty much sums up my family.

I’m waiting, waiting, waiting on this little Daisy to bloom. This is my very favorite flower, and it looks like we are only going to get one or two of them this Spring.

The baby Chickadees finally made their fluffy appearance in the garden. Cupcake and Biscuit had two little chicks, but two more have arrived with another momma. They are adorable, but they are eating through the two bird feeders every other day.

We’ve been keeping track of our birdy visitors, and we have had thirteen different types of birds that have visited the feeders. This little guy is Red, he is our darling House Finch, and he has the prettiest song. We’ve added a hummingbird feeder to the garden, but so far no visitors. The kids had fun making hummingbird nectar though.

June is here, and we have the pool up, and I really need to tend to the gardens a bit better. It seems to be either too hot, or too rainy to get out there and get too much done.
