My Garden Is Blooming

Since it has been months (Aug 2010) since I have posted, I decided I had better get this blog going again

I spend all my time on my other blog and neglect this one terribly.

To start things off

 I thought I would share a few of my garden photo's

we have had so much rain that when I trimmed off my Iris, the water just poured out

I had tons of poppy heads, but between the rain and the high heat, they did not perform their ususal "show".

I love my gardens and spend every morning walking thru with my coffee

just enjoying the beginning of the day...hope you enjoy it, too!
