Hi Friends
I break from the usual cards to post as promised a few pictures of what the our garden was like last week. So here are a few pictures:
We have been enjoying so much the weather for the passed 2 months we had Winter and then Poof, Spring and Summer into one. It was really nice to pot a few plants get the tomatoes and green bell peppers some time to grow and flowers and spices and so on. You know the drill right?
Some of my rose bushes. This one is by the pool and growing rapidly
I have a few unknown named plants this one is one of them. This was blooming in the dead of Winter.
We have a few weeping trees in bloom right now and you will see more close up photos of them attached below.
Cinec... can't remember the name now but it is gorgeous!
Front pond you will see 2 of 3 of our koi fishes down below
I found some dragonfly at the craft store in town. Time to show them off.
From the front gate entrance the view of our garden. Will show you pictures in a few weeks when you will notice a big difference.
While I was taking pictures of the whole garden yesterday I stumbled upon this resting butterfly on my rose plant. It was so nice it was letting me approach it closely so I could take closer pictures. I enjoyed this beautiful unexpected surprise. I guess we have a guest who likes our garden already. We also have the joy to house behind the bushes some interesting looking lizards. They fear us more than I fear them so we are getting along just fine. But leave doors open and you get a surprise that walks on your ceiling one day.
Enjoy a closer view of it. It had a really nice furry belly and head.
2 of the 3 koi fish we have the other one shied away when it saw me with the camera. I didn't know fish could be camera shy hee hee
Another view of the pool and garden surrounding it
Not sure if this will bring me some irises. If you know please do tell. Among some of you I know some are really avid gardeners so if you do know please feel free to fill up my questions with answers. Thanks
Our pink geraniums, love the colors it is so bright!

Another unknown tree name
Ahhhh but I know this one and it is gorgeous right now it is called a wisteria. It makes those big flower grapes all around my porch this part was already open but the other side of the porch is a little later.
This pretty flower again is a no named one but it is pink and bright, you just can't miss it
The next few photos are of the weeping blooming trees of our front garden
Wisteria on the other side of the house the tardy side
Now that you have seen all the lovely pictures of our garden. I was so proud of the look of it thus far with all the fun hours of digging and planting and watering, you know, the fun stuff that comes with a garden. This morning we woke up to this and got me running in my slippers to save all I could. Have a look below.
By the time it stopped and panic had set in and my running around to save what I could I looked like a wet dog but I couldn't shake it off LOL. The snow was falling in huge clusters I had never seen snow flakes that big until today. But we got about 2 inches but was quickly melting when it all stopped.
I felt fortunate that this was all we had here when Colleen the lady that always write comments had tornadoes emergencies around where she lives and also told me at that time that Dallas Forth Worth was hit by tornadoes. I hope all is well with everyone. It makes my garden on ice look like nothing after I heard the news. Colorado also got close to a foot of snow if not more. So we all hope this is the last of what we see of Winter.
So this was a break from the card posting for today. I hope you enjoyed a brief visit to our garden. On the road to discovering more of what is and will grow next! Exciting!
Have a great day, attach a smile to it, who knows it may become the best day you have had in a long time.
