Tuesday in the Garden...

Posted on 7:12 PM by jimmy

What a gorgeous day! I'm not sure if the temperature was record-breaking, but it felt like early summer here today...I spent the morning outside, (barefoot, but that's nothing new) picking clover for the bunnies... (Don't they look happy?...Even grumpy Warren! ♥) and checking the progress of all the perennials.  I'm sure my neighbors think I'm nutty, crawling around taking pictures of rocks and little flowers, but that's okay. I am. :)


I think I did set a new record for earliest turning on of the air conditioning, though ~ (just temporarily, maybe) ~ it was just so uncomfortable in the house tonight (humidity), and I could feel myself getting crabbier and crabbier...now, MUCH better!

The camera just doesn't do them justice, but the rocks in the raised herb beds were just glittering like diamonds...I'm a Sparkly Rock girl from way back...I think I spent most of my childhood outdoors, head down, looking for them in the creek bed or anywhere there was gravel...I would have thought I'd just died and gone to Heaven if I'd had some of these, then!

Henbit ~ yes, I know it's a weed, but if you look really close, the little purple flowers are just exquisite...when I was little I thought the little individual flowers looked like llama's heads...(still do)!

The Mystery Shrub (that my Grandma called Spice Bush) is about to bloom! As you can see, the flowers are borne in little clusters, sort of like Spirea, but golden yellow...does it look familiar to anyone?


That's all for this evening...Wednesday already tomorrow ~ my goodness!
