Awaiting Bounty

I went out to the garden today and it's looking pretty good, except for all of weeds. I haven't been able to weed because of all the rain. The thunderstorms last night started to unbury some of our onions. There are some tomatoes and one of them is even starting to turn red. Two of our pepper plants didn't make it, but the rest of them are OK. They haven't started to flower, but they did survive, which is half the battle.

Our tiger lilies have also bloomed and some of my wildflowers are starting to bloom as well. I'm not sure what flowers they are except for pretty. Once they get bigger, I'll post some pictures.

Flowers

So I finally took a picture of some of our flowers. We had a really nice day on Sunday where I was able to get a picture of the flowers blooming. I'm hoping to plant some wildflowers in the next week. I've also looked at some flowering shade bushes that I think will be really pretty to have.

We're starting to get things together that we want to get done this summer. It seems the list just keeps getting longer. It started out as re-doing our plumbing. We've added cleaning out the shed, power washing our siding and porch, sealing the porch, sanding and sealing the outdoor benches, and replacing our windows. I guess it's going to be a really busy summer!

Spring Time

I was able to be out and about for a little bit this morning. It was really nice and sunny...a gorgeous spring morning. I went to my second job for a little bit and came home to our daffodils and tulips blooming. They were so pretty! I had a dessert to make, so I did that, thinking to go outside once I was done to take some pictures of the flowers. Of course by the time I was done with the dessert, it had cooled off outside and the flowers had started to close. I was fairly disappointed. Then, it started raining. I know it's April, but it would have been nice for the flowers to bloom just a little longer!
