Welcome!  A big 'thank you' to those of you who visited my
 last post and left the most encouraging comments.  I really enjoyed writing from my heart, and it pleases me that you all felt touched by it. 
I love how the seasons play out in a garden.  Spring brings life to some of my most glorious flowers, like the daffodils, irises, peonies, lilies of the valley, azaleas and more.

  | 
| Before the white peony bursts fully, it has the prettiest shade of light pink. | 
  | 
| Azaleas. | 
  | 
| These plum irises have the briefest of days to shine. | 
Seems like one day each variety has its chance to dazzle, and the next, the blossoms begin to fade. 
  | 
| The lavender perfumes the air near my dining room window. | 
As Summer approaches and the weather warms, different plants come into their own.   My beloved hydrangeas make their big appearance.

A garden, through its seasons, reminds me of an orchestra, playing one long piece of beautiful music.  Each player contributes to the symphony.

 I love the beautiful music I see and hear in my yard.  I enjoy this progression, letting each plant do its thing.  
  | 
| Lady's mantle.  I just love the way water beads up on its leaves. | 
  | 
| Clematis had its time to bloom weeks ago.  It's done for the season. | 
  | 
| Fuzzy lamb's ears.  I love the soft texture and the silvery green foliage. | 
  | 
| Thunbergia continues to wind its way up the trellis. | 
I am so glad you dropped by today.  I hope you've enjoyed my garden photos!
Peace and blessings to you,
