Sunday Garden Tour
Tulips in the front window, still hanging on and more coming up!
The cerinthe has filled in and replaced the penstemon. I love this carefree jumble of calendula, jupiter’s beard,tulips, roses and allium. This front patch feels like it’s made itself. We planted two iceberg roses and I threw in some cerinthe seeds and planted a few tulip bulbs but other than that I’ve had nothing else to do with it.
One sad looking tulip and a very curious daffodil. This bed has also come together with not much planning. I threw out some love-in-a-mist seeds and tulip bulbs. The perfect combination. Once the bulbs are done the nigella will be in bloom.
 
The wisteria surprised us today. Last I looked it was just tight little buds. How beautiful it looks and smells with all the lilies.

This camelia at the JPH has convinced me to give this plant another try in our own garden.  But where?
There are a couple spots back by the lair or maybe just in front of the hammock?
and this…
 

I’ve got a couple of these fuschia but not this color combination and none that perform as well as this very well established beauty at the Inn.
and this! a borderline weed I think but oh my
that little drop of water about to drop…

and just like that, it’s summer! the back door is now open, the screen curtain has been hung and the stinky little bulldog may enter and escape as she likes. 
it’s not official yet. the hammock has yet to be hung and the lair to be assembled and consecrated. i know you March, how sneaky and surly you are one minute and charming and delightful the next, i’m not planting anything yet but i’m getting ready, pulling weeds and trimming up everything within reach, planning on what to put where.

It was grand. We did everything we wanted and nothing we didn’t want.
I strolled and browsed and marveled and ate and bathed about 25 times. The bathroom at the hotel was Japanese style, a gorgeous wooden stool and low water faucets to sit in front of and wash and rinse yourself with a wooden bucket before getting into the deep soaking tub. If I didn’t have a certain bulldog waiting for me at home I may never have come back.
 
Thank you husband of mine!
And thank you all for your well wishes!

I spotted this little guy at Deb’s this afternoon.  She told me somebody walked off with his partner so he sits alone reading underneath the gorgeous tulips she always keeps on the counter. 
Another clear, crisp and very windy day after another surprise rainstorm in the middle of the night. I love those! This one not nearly as dramatic as the night before, this one was gentle and sweet.
