Lady Bug Circus

Yunnan Meadow Rue, Chinese Meadow Rue

I'd never seen this before until the other day. It's so beautiful. Like tall purple baby's breath.

Tulips in the Northwest

If you ever have the opportunity to be in Seattle in the first half of April, don't miss seeing the tulips in Mt Vernon.

Tulips in the Northwest continued

I think these women are retired nuns who just couldn't completely give up their bad habits.

Patio, my favorite spot

Perfect spot to sit with a sketchbook.
So much is in bloom now, makes me happy.

Bees in the Smoke Tree

I came home to hundreds of bees in the patio garden. Those little suckers  move quickly and out of 10 tries this was the best one.

Patio Garden

I planted sweet peas and they are about an inch high and I am so excited I can hardly stand it.

Patio

Wish it would warm up so we could enjoy some evenings outside.

Summer Evening in the Patio

It was the perfect summer evening in the patio. There was enough light to work on projects with a new friend. So happy.

Squash Plant

 

This is the squash plant that Kerrie  H. gave me six weeks ago. No baby squashes yet, but we are hopeful. either way it's a beautiful plant.

Summertime Favorite

 

It's great to see hollyhocks growing so happily. Never been able to grow them successfully over here at the circus.
