Playing In The Dirt!

Earth laughs in flowers. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

It was such a beautiful day with the sun shining bright and warm! 

So I spent the day playing in the dirt!

See how bright the sun was ... here is my shadow!

These are some photos of my garden it is looking a little sad.

I did do a lot of clean up

A few daffodils are blooming!

This is in the front of my house

I do have alot of wild onions and I do hate them

they are so hard to get rid of

Found a box of daffodil bulbs I didn't plant last fall

put them in this planter...hope they bloom

then I'll plant them in the garden

Bought this cement planter at a garage sale last summer

More of that darn wild onion

They are hard to see but there are hundreds of

Rose of Sharon start ups

To me Rose of Sharon is like a bad weed!

I've even trim the bushes so they don't bloom but of course

they still do...then drop their seeds and all

these little starter pop up everywhere!

This is the very shady side of the house there is a bleeding heart

and ferns here - I'll be sure and show it to you

when they bloom!

I really only have a very small yard but it sure takes a lot of time

to keep up with all the garden stuff !

Found these on the Better Homes and Garden web site
they are Sombrero coneflowers WOW they are really beautiful!
